Elvis said God doesn’t pay attention at night. Darkness brings ghosts and grief, debauchery and melancholy. Thieves and rapists roam and reach those nestled in, The shadows steal innocence, safety and trust from us. Elvis might be right.
I recall a song, a phrase perhaps before the song, "They only come out at night." One night while waiting in a car at a gas station, observing the people about, I thought, how true. I think Elvis is right. Excellent poem, Judy.

I never knew Elvis said that. Must be a song I don't know. If he did say that, I would argue with him.
