The Scarecrow

by Zak   Jul 23, 2007


Standing alone in the large corn field,
The Scarecrow holds his ground.
He is seen as an object of fear,
Just a bunch of trash thrown together.
But the Scarecrow holds a secret,
Dark and unknown he stands alone,
His secret held in the emptiness inside his head.
He waits, he watches,
He watches us all.
For when we fall asleep, safe and warm in our beds,
The Scarecrow takes his walk of darkness.
He sees all that occurs.
He waits for his chance to leave us in mystery,
To leave us confused and afraid,
For he is made, only to cause fear.

    This is good, ironic also, that the things we make frighten us. Very nice. 5/5
