Halloween?…or more like... Hallow–ship of Ghosts.
<p>We call it fun…</p><p>this masquerade of bones and broken halos.</p><p>We light candles for the dead,</p><p>while our souls flicker dimly in the living.</p><p><br/></p><p>We say it’s harmless.. </p><p>It's just costumes,</p><p>Just some candy,</p><p>just a little scare.</p><p>But to be honest, it isn't funny</p><p>how we fear the truth more than we fear the dark?</p><p>How we decorate graves</p><p>while our hearts decay quietly beneath our ribs?</p><p><br/></p><p>We celebrate the lifeless,</p><p>but mock the Living One.</p><p><br/></p><p>We dance in the cemetery of culture,</p><p>praising ghosts with glitter and smiles…</p><p>building temples from tombstones,</p><p>and calling it "tradition"</p><p><br/></p><p>The world basks in skeleton masks,</p><p>while heaven weeps in silence.</p><p>We’ve made worship of what’s hollow,</p><p>a holiday of what’s already dead.</p><p><br/></p><p>And when they say “Trick or treat?”</p><p>I wonder which one we chose.. </p><p>because the devil never needed to trick us…</p><p>we offered the treat ourselves wholeheartedly. </p><p><br/></p><p>So tell me…</p><p>Is it Halloween?</p><p>…or more like </p><p>Hallow–ship of Ghosts.</p><p><br/></p><p>But maybe…</p><p>maybe it was never about costumes,</p><p>or candy,</p><p>or carved-out pumpkins with creepy smiles.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe it was about us... </p><p>the living ghosts.</p><p>The ones who breathe,</p><p>but somehow forgotten to feel.</p><p>The ones who wear halos for aesthetics,</p><p>but never truly carry light.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe we are the parade,</p><p>the puppets,</p><p>the souls that clap for our own decay.</p><p>And when the lights go out,</p><p>and the laughter fades,</p><p>what’s left of us?</p><p><br/></p><p>Just echoes.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just whispers of what could’ve been holy,</p><p>if only we hadn’t traded our hallelujahs</p><p>…for horror.... </p><p><br/></p><p>So I’ll ask again... </p><p>Is it Halloween??</p><p>…or more like... </p><p>Hallow–ship of Ghosts. </p>
