Maniacal beings appear on the spot

Of graves from the others, a most twisted plot

They rise from the underworld, ready to strike

Frightening humans, yes, those they dislike

Rattling bones, they create such a clatter

Run if you must, it won’t really matter

For thieves of the underground

Will search, until you are found

They’re coming to get you, ready or not!

Pen to the paper

Lines that I scribble

Fall slowly, my mind

Starting to dribble

A trickle of ink

A blotch full of letters

That turn into words

Somehow much better

Than leaving the paper

Barren and white

This is my legacy

At the end of the night

Purest white to fool her prey

A woven web of tangles

No matter where you try to stray

She’ll catch you, from all angles

A spider’s charm has consequences

With tricks, all quite alluring

Wraps herself round all your senses

To smother, is her securing

She’ll gather you up in a single thread

Spun from her very own hand

Until you are indeed most dead

Now you’re the dinner she has planned

A child’s simple joy

Comes from his delightful ways

Trying to skip stones

Courage, so we may chase away fears

Happiness, to wipe away the tears

A sliver of hope, throughout the land

That we walk together, hand in hand

To pray for peace, and show we can

Embrace our differences, love each man
