Chain Of Ghouls
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Psyched out.
By a chain of ghouls.
And successfully fooled,
To exchange their souls.
Volunteering absent minds.
Gone no longer with thoughts to use.
Follow they do.
In a long line to await.
Anticipating the ghouls,
Will choose to celebrate...
The feeding to eat,
Upon each piece of their bodies.
Dumbed down to numbness.
Done to medicate.
Truth.
Removed from them reality.
Completely to fiction.
An afterlife for them will come.
So they cheer and applaud.
With awe,
Their quality of life...
Once loved now offends.
While they stand impatiently.
Feeding their minds and bodies to ghouls.
Who continue to nibble and munch away,
A truth replaced.
As this to live it,
In time...
Will fade making fools,
Duped and permanently deceived.
Enslaved.
With a wanting nothing better,
Than to be chained to ghouls.
Controlled and ruled!
Forever tricked and fooled to defend it!
