Creatures Of The Unknown
There are people; creatures that are around.
They come and go with an eerie sound.
They are not of this world, it’s true.
They could be coming just for you.
Call them creatures of the night.
To see one is a real fright.
They are the basis of many legends.
Real or not?—– It all depends.
Many strange things lead back to them.
To believe is more than just a whim.
Would you take a chance it’s all a hoax?
No more real than a ghost?
Have you heard of the shadow people?
Black eyed children and haunted steeples?
A lot of things from the lunatic fringe.
Most make no sense until the end.
But, by then, it is way too late.
It has already sealed your fate.
Do not mess with the occult or unknown.
The result is not good, it has been shown.
You’ll end up a part of a scary tale.
One quoted over a glass of ale.
Your fate will become a fright.
Told around campfires late at night.
Compare it to the bogyman children fear.
Maybe, it was ‘them’ that was near?
Children have vivid imaginations.
Amazing how they see the situation.
So heed my words and be on guard.
Learning the truth can be real hard.
