Halloween elsewhere
has witches and vampires
coming out of their lair.
Our halloween
had the metal kings*
burn up the green city.
The racing cars* added their
zoom to brighten up
a lazy sunday afternoon.
No tricks but treats,
not candy to taste
but for the eyes to feast
the snow in New York
dampened not the protesters'*
heart or soul
The holiday this year
marks the birth of
the seven billionth heir*
to the chaos and order
that goes by the name
Planet Earth.
* India's first F1 Grand Prix was held on Sunday in one city while Metallica rocked us in Bangalore.
Today the Wall Street protests continue in New York while the seven billionth Earthling is born elsewhere.
