    Truth Behind All Hallows Eve

     The truth of it all,
    Is too much skin
    And too little sensibility.

    Your favorite character from a movie,
    A classic skeleton,
    Or the sluttiest outfit you can buy.

    Short dresses,
    Plunging necklines,
    Fishnets,
    "Appealing" attire.

    Going to door to door
    Asking strangers
    For sweets
    For candy
    Going against everything your parents taught you.

    Cartons full of eggs,
    Rolls of toilet paper,
    Slashing tires with knives,
    The after-hours things the "punks" get into.

    The past of it all,
    Was warding away spirits
    When the veil between worlds was its thinest.

    The truth of it all,
    Is candy and spiders,
    And punks and hard cider.

    Nice! Lol I love it. And its very true. See a lot of people dont know the truth behind Halloween and why people dressed up like beasts and witches. I guess the slurry outfits didn't come put until society became infatuated with sex appeal.r

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
