Demonic Churchyard

This is one of my weirdest things yet...

Demonic Churchyard

Kill them all with ABC’s.

Watch them fall into the seas

Go to church to pray to Hell

But don’t forget the ornate bell

Ring it hard, but not too much

Sounds like scary things and such

It pounds so hard, it just might crack

Then it falls onto your back

Break a bone upon the boulders

Burn your skin & watch it smolder

Smoke at sunset under Earth

Run a ring around the girth

Hot equator, burn, burn, burn

Pour the ashes in the urn.

Play in parks across the street

Just be careful who you meet

Go to church to pray to Hell

Run away from ornate bells

Play go-fish with bloody cards

Hide and seek in graveyards

Foggy ghosts from nighty-nights

Tie the ropes, but not too tight

Drag the corpses through the trees

Please ignore its feeble pleas

Don’t listen to it’s demon voice

Kill it nightly and rejoice

Throw it through the coffin lid

Never whisper what you did

Poker with a Joker card

This is the Demon Churchyard

People aren't going to read something on the strength of being told it's weird! However, I did read this, but not because of your introduction. 
Turk, above, is correct in what I believe is the shortest, yet most succinct review I have ever seen on this site. 
Why is there the need to use the ampersand instead of the word 'and' in that one line?  
Both 'graveyards' and 'Churchyard' seem wrenched rhymes to me. A shame as you have metre and a bouncy rhythm, but as a read it is exactly what Turk says it is. 
Cheers
