The Spirit World
Is another world
Not so different
From our world
Filled with monsters and demons
Ghouls and ghosts
And devils of all disguises.
And just as in our world
They prey on the unsuspecting
The innocent and nice,
Causing anguish and suffering
Wherever they roam.
The Spirit World
Is dark and scary
But no more scary than our world.
Where the timid must hide
To stay alive
Where the poor must toil
With no end in sight
While the bullies go
Unchecked and unpunished.
But just as there is dark,
There is light –
In both these worlds
In fairylands
And wonderlands.
At parks and concerts,
At weddings and at christenings,
Where love and happiness preside
There the Spirit World is Light.
