Who wins in the Dark?

Spooky nights and even weirder days, all the screwed and f**ked up ways,I scan the left and see the looming spider, it's sticky webs with fly's beside her.I spin to the right, while I jump in fright, only a zombie stumbling through the night. Oh dear Lord in the heavens above. this would be a good time for your love.Lost in a forest that is dark, all alone, left here to stumble far from my home.A bright light against a frightening night, would  reassure me of all your might. I waited a long time to be able to see, should've known it would be left to me,

God helps those who help themselves, we don't have time for shirker's with bells.So pick up your boots and tie your laces, it's high time to be put through your paces. It may be dark and a touch scary out there, with nothing much left to truly beware.Seek the markers you came searching for,  Bust your ass, then give it some more.

Truthfully it may be easier said then done,  but when it's all over we will know who won.

it’s sticky webs with fly’s beside her."

"all the screwed and f**ked up ways,..for one moment I thought you were referring to Guy Fawkes!" Lovely this bit like a nonsense rhythm:-"I scan the left and see the looming spider,  it’s sticky webs with fly’s beside her." " all your might".......oh what might? ...its time to put you through your paces ...maybe better rhythm? I am slightly puzzled by the meaning although have received BIG hints and this is ALMOST a nonsense rhyme and could well be made into one, or another one made out of it that would be highly entertaining,. Well that's what I think. Great potentiality this DD with love Ann
