Fear The Reaper Ever More

A Halloween poem to scare your senses.

All around, they walk among us

and most of us never see

On transit systems bus

and subways through the city

A part of the world they've always been

but one day, we'll see them

We don't know when

but one day, we'll see them

How long have they been here

something nobody knows

If you see them, don't show fear

because you know how that goes

Feeders they are,

like locusts, they'll come

From both near and far

if you allow them to get some

They prey in the night

and they take just a few

Those that can't fight

first one, then two

Someday we'll see their true form

and most will run for cover

They'll wear the blood while it's warm

and you'll scream for your mother

The reapers come to us all

and there's nothing we can do

They'll come when we all fall

they'll come for me and you

They're all around you, I say

and they're going to reap you too
