i watched from my window in fear
the horror show on the streets down below
i heard a whisper in my ear
from no body near me
i was alone
a voice nonetheless that i knew
from nightmares or
maybe they were premonitions
given the scene unfolding it seems
more than mere dreams
they might have been visions.
chaotic reactions at least
as the common man failed when faced with the truth
the reality of the beast
within them, unleashed from their souls
they'd seen proof
that monsters, they'd feared in their youth
had arrived
not caged in some far-flung dimension
but roaming their streets
no faux 'trick or treat
no halloween night of pretention.
some clung to their symbols of god
while some looted stores and other ones prowled
no more than sheer predators now
that their own mortality gave them the nod
they'd seen the oncoming star
no longer would these
good folk hold faith they'd vaunted
given the fact of their end in the skies
most just closed their eyes
and did what they wanted.
far from the way they'd behaved while alive
they caved to their whim knowing none would survive
