Ghosts - Before The Moonlight Poem by Paul Warren

In the dead of the night
Before the Moonlight
You can see them wandering about
Lost in the darkness but unable to shout

The street of people is now bare
Without any vehicles moving there
For they lost their lives being bad
And now they walk angry and mad

Their criminal record was not good
For robbing and stealing because they could
The innocent ones they killed in the fight
Have moved on to heaven for the right

And in the shoot out with the police
They were killed but did not have release
Their earthly bodies were taken away
But for their sins the bad guys would stay

For they are too scared of heavenly decrees
When they may be judged for their bad deeds
So in the street all alone they wander along
Forever without purpose knowing they don't belong.
