NO HALLOWEEN SCENE

The month of Halloween has finally arrived,
When children dress like monsters and such,
But know that if you’re a servant of the Lord,
All Hallows Eve you shouldn’t dare to touch.

Now why would it even be wrong to celebrate,
In the world they claim it’s simply a night of fun,
But slaves of darkness esteem it as a holy day,
When vile, ungodly things are said to be done.

Steeped in the rites of the ancient Celtic religion,
Communion with the dead took place this night,
But the Scriptures make clear it’s forbidden to do,
In this our Father in Heaven doesn’t take delight.

Likewise head-hunting & even human sacrifices,
Were a core practice of Celtic life many years ago,
Druid priests were officiants of their pagan faith,
They were intellectuals who actually ran the show.

Lighting bonfires and wearing costumes & masks,
Were also a central part of the ancient celebration,
Children played pranks hoping to get food or coins,
But those people engaged in dangerous divination.

The Wiccans today celebrate the eve of Halloween,
To them it’s the most important festival of eight in all,
But to Wiccans the night is referred to as Samhain,
And they worship nature but to God never even call.

Yet worshipping the creation more than the Creator,
Is also strictly forbidden if one reads God’s holy book,
They made false gods out of what are really no gods,
While the true God of Heaven they actually forsook.

These are some reasons why Christians should reject,
And have nothing to do with this late October night,
The Bible warns us to flee from the works of darkness,
I hope that you will pray, and then do what is so right.
