This poem is about a boy who goes nuts on his mother after finding out she had been cheating on his father on Halloween, a day of fun and excitement for children. Instead of going trick -or-treating, he gets his revenge on his mother. The "The going nuts" part is expressed intensely in the first stanza.
People ran as bodies flew,
canaries in witch's brew;
Where to run and nowhere to hide?
Dark tunnel with no wish bone inside.
They count their blessings but their sins are in light,
specs of black on Halloween night;
Casted curses send a frightful daze,
plagues to them on their wedding day.
Still they marry in a frightful cave,
you can't bury so you set them ablaze;
Is it love or the love of hate?
Lets all betray our bird brain mates.
So you pay her back spreading ashes around,
retaliation cackling above rising ground;
All the relaxation makes you sleep so well,
you place her ashes in a frosty cold cell.
