#9 «A most unwelcome return»

i.
The helplessly ignorant peasants
engulfed in their sulky routines
Blissfull in their unawareness
that evil is not what it seems

ii.
Breathless, he steps through the doorway
struggling to gain his composure
He hulks and stammers, then starts to convey
what he claims to have seen in the pasture

As the boy carried on
about a witch and a ghoul
His old grandma
had seen something foul

The moment she spotted
two marks on his skin
She remembered
the old tale, so grim;

iii.
Bloodthirsty vampires
denied of fruition
With incurable desires
and miasmal affliction
Will once more
return to these shires

iv.
And let it be known
without dubitation
It will not be
our day of salvation
