Poem
I used to steal to make a living Now I catch those with horrible upbringings I was a legend in my neighborhood until high school Then I was taught that stealing and mischief was not cool I served in the Navy after school for four years Now I am a DARE cop in the districts ears I have busted several students with drugs Discovering their drug dealers lowly scugs I had one case that took my heart away A young mans courageous story I am about to relay His name is Kyle Summers a 5th grader His efforts were never greater His older brother Mike was part of a local gang Murder Mike was his alias nickname He never murdered anyone though he did like to fight One afternoon he picked a fight that wasn’t right A drug dealer Cameron Danz was lacing his Marijuana with meth Which wasn’t likely to be anything less then death Mike saw this and confronted Cameron about who was to receive It was a couple of first timers with a curiosity for weed Take their money and get rid of some customers was his plan For he had no more coming in for a monthly span A fight ensued when the first timers where his brothers friends He was hospitalized because Cameron hit him with his Benz At the hospital Mike told Kyle of the horrible intentions So Kyle set out for their fates prevention He ran to me while school was just starting And I called their parents to give them warning They relayed that the kids already left for school I jumped in my car and looked for them too Kyle had seen the drop off point and left school to help When he showed up the drugs where being dealt Kyle shouted as loud as he could to warn They heeded his call and cast away the drugs in the barn Cameron was infuriated with this and dashed With all the drugs and a fair amount of cash Smiles filed the boys faces when he ran Though they never expected to see him again He returned with a gun and held them in place “Beg or you get it in the Face!” Kyle held still and yet maintained eye contact That’s what set off his violent attack Cameron shot in a rage and emptied the clip In shock Kyle fell forward more than a slip. I showed up and tackled Cameron just a little late I couldn’t save him he soon met his fate In my eyes he saved his friends and died Though now I live with it and sometimes cry
