To Hunt on Halloween Night

Behind those vacant eyes
Hurt turns bitter onto the hunt
He only wants one prize
A sharp knife and a dull grunt

He only knows one place to go
He hunts yet is hunted in return
He desires, he yearns, he will know
The hunted and hunter will have their turn

The girls an easy prize
A disguise – overalls and mask
Disgust and hate fill the eyes
To stalk - to hunt- to complete the task

A victim dies by the cord
Under the darkness of night
Another victim the knife does gored
Killing and blood prove a delight

What is better than a knife
But a gun in moonlight?
The victim screams for her life -
The hunter felled in darkness of night
