They say that the dead comes back on Halloween

Blurring the lines between the living and the dead

But if we, the living, be very keen

We would realize that we are no different

 

One may ask…

What is the difference between the living and the dead?

When the youth, who are supposed to be filled with life, chant:

I feel so dead on the inside

What is the difference between the living and the dead?

When adults sulk when Mondays arrive

And going to work like a zombie horde

 

Living not only means breathing

Living is not defined by a heartbeat

Living means hope

Living means you live every day like your last day

Living means having a passion, a dream

That’s what makes us living

 

Drop your phones and drop your worries

Step out of your house and  step out of your comfort zone

Dress up for Halloween to scare away the dead

Give some candy and get some back

Enjoy the sweetness and cackle through the night

 

Just remember this…

It ain’t the dead that’s been haunting you

Because it was only you all along

Don’t paint yourself like a zombie

Because you are the joker that gets the last laugh
