The Watchers (version 2)

Possessed is what the Watchers do call it.

Demons that jump from person to person,
touch by touch.

Only one of many ways they travel.
Lo! smitten by the hidden.

And these shadows will chase the light away
from those who step outside their hallowed zone.

The Watchers say it's dark light when the dark
becomes the light, when the dark is their light.

They merely wait for a gate left open,
and legions will be sneaking through to stay.

Where the givers and the takers wake the Watchers,
and the Watchers watch whatever they choose.

Why would they leave when they can be right here,
watching me and watching you?
