The Darkness encroaches Evil approaches Moves like an ocean In a strange smooth motion Surrounded by blackness Making us all hapless Victims of The Darkness Leaving many a carcass Sitting alone in the gloom Trapped in this room Quickly becoming my tomb Reeking deaths sweet perfume The day goes to dusk Beware The Darkness's tusk That monster's fang How that scream rang In the twilight Take flight If you can live through the night Through all this fright The Darkness encroaches Evil approaches Moves like an ocean In a strange smooth motion

Encroaching Darkness
On Halloween night, Monsters emerge, Ready to instill fright, An unearthly scourge. Monsters of all kinds, Stalk the Earth, No longer trapped in confines, Deep-set fear to unearth. Ghosts and ghouls and goblins, Zombies and skeletons and spiders, All come hobbling, Out as night riders. Ready to ***** and chill, To haunt and hunt, To fill with thrill, And fight at fear's battlefront. Creatures of ill intent, Unite for one night, Creating discontent, A vile blight. Amongst children, Ready for tricks or treats, Seven billion, People's fears to eats. On Halloween night, Dark forces arise, And take flight, For fear is their prize!

On Halloween Night
Technology marches forward, Never stopping, Technology marches forward, Always progressing. It permeates our homes, It resides in our pockets, The big company's own Sherlock Holmes, Seeing deep within our lockets. It gets us where, We want to go, Through the air, Or through the traffic flow. It runs our lives, Leading us along, Like bees in hives, We follow it's rhythmic song. Technology marches forward, Not caring for its creators, Technology marches forward, As humanities technological dictators.

Technology
Some days, Things go your way Some days, Others, you want to cry all day. When the worst days come And trust me, they will, Just start to hum, And keep going over that hill. When it feels like the world, Is tumbling down, Deep into the underworld, And you think you may drown. Hold your head up high, And just push on, Keep your face to the sky, And focus thereon. When everything around, Feels like it's ablaze, While you are fear-bound, Trapped in a maze. Think back to the best days, When you saw the future bright, For that future is always, Just within your sight.

Worst Day
Society has crumbled, The world has regressed, Everyone is depressed, Mentally jumbled. We think we are above, All of those dystopian stories, That we don't fall in those categories, But they fit like a glove. Fahrenheit 451? Who reads books anyway? There is no keeping the media at bay, Our screens are on all day! Orwell's 1984? Thanks to phones we have no privacy, Everyone inflicts their own policy, And agenda evermore. The Giver? Our joy and suffering, Are ****** away by our constant screening, And pleasures made to deliver. Ready Player One? We turn to escapism, So we can run, From activism, racism, and fascism. We think we are above, All of those dystopian stories, That we don't fall in those categories, But they fit like a glove.

Society
I'm surrounded by madness It circles around my heart Corrupting it with blackness There is no restart The world crumbles The ground beneath rumbles The world has fallen I am all in My eyes reopen And I realize There is nothing hiding behind this guise It's time for the door to open The darkness inside Is calling for vengeance It's time they all died It's time I come back with a vengeance It is done I became the one It's time I disappear Yet we're all a little mad down here

Madness
Some people say That the scariest thing Is what comes from the fray And hustle and bustle of living They call it love Which when it is over You wish it wasn't true love As it leaves you with a horrid hangover A broken heart Is most terrifying It happens someone we love departs And so we start fortifying We place a wall Around our soul And thus begins our downfall Turning the heart to coal Beware the broken heart For it will steal away your life There is no replacing that part Emptily filled with strife

Broken Heart
Greed has a way of corrupting It can be disrupting Greed drives some mad And others to do bad Greed weaves its way Deep into your heart Until one day You fall apart Some say money Can buy happiness I find that quite funny Because for many it leads to unhappiness People throw their relationships away Just to get more gold Your life has no replay So why waste time on gold before you're old Money is useless It does nothing but harm It condemned Judas Much to his alarm Love of money goes nowhere It only leads to dark paths Where you can hardly breathe air And are thrown onto rafts Greed has a way of corrupting It can be disrupting Greed drives some mad And others to do bad And many to be sad And none to be truly glad

Greed
Sneaky, scaly, They live in a valley Slimy, wormy Not worthy of taxidermy Patterned all pretty Not welcome in the city They have no pity Very nasty and gritty Some have a rattler The worst tattler Don't even speak like a prattler Natures guerilla battler Narrow slits for eyes Whoever is bit dies They have no allies They are an unpleasant surprise Sneaky, scaly, They live in a valley Slimy, wormy Not worthy of taxidermy

It's Exam Day I think it's time to run away Tests here tests there Tests everywhere! Scarier than spiders Created by those insiders Teachers, dreaded villains I think this school needs some penicillins Tests, such a virus So undesirous Infecting our schools Making the smartest of us look like fools Vile creatures I'd rather cheer on the bleachers Then have to take another test They make me so stressed Corrupted Our education interrupted All so the state can judge us It should be treasonous How I lothe exam day This is a good time to run away But I can't do that Else the system will make my life fall flat
