How would you feel if they ripped out your guts
And left you just a husk, a shell, empty cavity
How would you heal from the loss and disgust
To these actions unjust, in all of their vanity
How would you cope if they carved up your face
With stencils and blades, for their own entertainment
Taking you from your home, feeling lost and displaced
To be placed as a spooky arrangement
Parts of you in a pie, for a family of five
All topped with whipped-cream to the sight of a feast
As they chomp and they chew, masticating you
Forced to watch these devouring beasts
Then baking your seeds, seasoned to their needs
To meet their teeth with a crunch of delight
To see such a deed, with no means to be freed
Could you ever imagine such frights
Then sitting you on their steps, with no ounce of regret
To show faintly a flicker that shines through the wholes
A Flamed silhouette, to show you as a threat
Just a kindle to the wick of your soul
Then leaving you all alone, to weather and show
Your life, and all energy draining
All your hopes once aglow, have been left to corrode
To wither, just waning and waiting
For some young adolescent, who happens on by
Just to give you the time of engagement
The very last act, till your final goodbye
Smashing you, left to rot, on the pavement
Yes, how would you feel ‘bout the time of October
Coming over and over, celebrated by all
Maybe your drunken joys, would just start to sober
If you knew my perspective of Fall
