Halloween. <br />A time when the fear of evil <br />Created witches and goblins, <br />In an 1800's world, <br />Has been transformed <br />Along with Christmas, Thanksgiving, <br />And Easter <br />Into an industry <br />Greener than St. Patrick’s day. <br /> <br />Money, money, money. <br />And tradition evolves <br />Into marketing houses, <br />Bar door prizes, <br />And hospital X-Rays <br />That try and discover <br />If the frustrated masses <br />Have fallen off the edge. <br /> <br />Halloween. <br />Maybe the evil is returning <br />To a twenty first century world, <br />Maybe it never left.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/halloween-12/
