Wednesday's Poetry Prompt: the spooky oookie

Wednesday's Poetry Prompt: Write a haunted poem.

the spooky oookie

We can skip the spooky season-
there is nothing happy 
or sweet as candy about it.
Under a spooks' operation,
it's been a spooky year thus far.
So spooky, that a costume 
can't even disguise the ugliest 
dark of the darkness 
in the darkest times before 
Autumn's time falls back while
watching history repeat itself. 

Government buildings are 
haunted houses with a million 
cobwebs of deception in 
every nook and cranny.
Only the purest souls 
withholds God's light 
as it flickers to flick off
the vampires of greed and wrath.

The unpleasant scents of decayed
flesh of "liberty and justice for all"
swallows the innocence 
of tranquilized air in rooms 
where ritual circles take place-
full of strange, creeps 
with vacant souls like Jason, 
Freddy Krueger, and Mike Myers.

In the highest chambers,
lies demonic hearts.
In the lowest, house of 
representatives, 
thee wizards of wickedness 
slithers like venomous snakes.
They're the new, perfect 
seeds of Chucky with 
Americans' blood on their hands.
The new children of the corn-y,
baring cold shoulders 
colder than 7 winters 
below 32 degrees-
upholding twisted dark legacies 
birthed out of the shadows of
America's white supremacy.
24 hours of oppression, 
depression, and recession,
plus 7 days a week 
of nightmares before Christmas. 

But ain't none of them 
been Christ-like all year.
More like false prophets.
Quick to role play Carrie,
when we know they're 
really the scary ones of
parasitic parties of poly-ticks;
Constant hocus pocus 
and secret conjurings;
Tongues of little black lies 
that grows wider,
telling new tales 
from the crypts 
as they rot inside.

As they prey, 
to prevail;
we pray 
that all spells fail.
Because God knows 
all about what witches do 
and he knows the recipes
of every witches brew.

Ask Texas...
They ain't the only lone state 
that seen a chainsaw massacre.
All fifty states have a Jigsaw 
that stay getting jiggy 
with Jim Crow on the lo'.

Every shade of evil 
is "the shining"; and
hate been the "It".
But only love identifies 
As the true final destination 
of pure bliss.
