A Halloween poem wishing that all terror be confined to the Halloween world of make believe:

Halloween’s a playground,

A funhouse safe from harm.

Let dread remain in costume;

Let fear be fantasy.

One’s soil should be safe ground,

Well governed, rich, and calm,

Each hate denied its rostrum,

Each rage its savagery,

Nor should revenge run free.
