Tricked And Mistreated. Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Tricked and mistreated.

I’ve been evicted dispossessed
I was fool did not believe
I really thought that knew best
and had no fear of all souls eve.

To me a jolly holiday
to trick or treat with all my friends.
But sadly I became the prey
of evil spirits who intend.

To seize the opportunity
Usurp a body take its place
assume again humanity
and thus rejoin the human race.

By accident I was alone
with no one near to offer aid
when I was cast out overthrown.
It was the one mistake I made.

To disbelieve was foolishness.
The legends made it very plain.
So now I am left bodiless
although I can still feel the pain.

I’m not the me I used to be
I am not sure just where I am.
Though all around me I can see
foul spirits who don’t give a damn.

For me and my predicament
They are too busy trying to
realise their only intent
of occupying a body too.

I’ve been evicted dispossessed
I know too well the tales are true.
I’ll disappear with all the rest
When the sun comes smiling through.

I’ll have to suffer 'til next year
Between the worlds in limbo lost.
Until all souls eve draws near.
For disbelief I pay the cost.

Then I’ll be hunting with pack
Seeking an opportunity
to try and seize my body back.
To be again who I should be.

I would advise you to believe.
The warning that I offer you
and stay indoors on all souls eve
because the old wives tales are true.
