Conspiracy theory or urban legend,
sightings of black-eyed children are
reported around the world.
Big black eyes, no whites, no irises,
they emanate a menacing feeling.
One, a little girl in a forest in Britain,
had an unnaturally bent neck and
a nonhuman, jerky running gait.
Sometimes they are alleged to
appear at your door asking to
come in.
Instinctively you feel if you let
them in, danger or death will follow.
No one knows what these black-eyed
children are really about.
No one knows if they are real or
just a conspiracy theory or an urban legend,
except those who might have
seen them.
