Poem
Another body dropped as the evil ran through the night He was on a spree to start a war The screams blistered the silence As the metal hit the floor, As the metal hit the floor. Red and blue blind the darkness The sirens piercing the hidden and fleeing Feet splashing in rhythm Their breathing turning ragged, Their breathing turning ragged. T.V.’s light up with another face Another cell grows crowded tonight Never a smile always a frown The bail isn’t ever going down, The bail isn’t ever going down. Phones ring like a symphony The room is filling up and draining out New and old faces enter with disgust Crying and yelling is all too familiar, Crying and yelling is all too familiar. Jailed and killed is never a shock Growing crime is always ends in a record breaker The defenders of the city never sleep More evil is always lurking within, More evil is always lurking within. The innocents and guilty are no longer separated Heads looking over shoulders at every street corner From the alleys to the roofs A trigger is pulled and a man has shot, A trigger has pulled and a man has shot. The beginning could be the end The young dying younger Pounds of sin infect the mind The parents spend and their children suffer, The parents spend and their children suffer. Silent night is all but a myth For sirens, shots, and screams invade the midnight Those soundly sleeping leave both eyes open An intruder knocks at the bedroom door, An intruder knocks at the bedroom door. The black of night shadows the filth and carnage The sun shining brightly, Spotlighting the aftermath Clean up is ignored and the nightmare pushed aside, Clean up is ignored and the nightmare pushed aside. Through the city a flame ignites The sky filled with many chills and frights Angels take the sinless away The demons and criminals come out and play, The demons and criminals come out and play. Time dances by as it glances near and far Storms bring more destruction all around The flames rage on like a burning chariot So many men, women, and children who need to be found, So many men, women, and children who need to be found. Years go by and it’s all the same. Goodbye to the days, weeks, months, and years They smile their last smiles It’s nothing but a lie to cover up the pain, It’s nothing but a lie to cover up the pain. Down go the buildings as they fall Bomb after bomb, the villains wicked song Just another incident Who cares just walk by, Who cares just walk by. This is the life of all who live In a city known for its extraneous crime Where every cent is stolen, penny and dime Those who fear are just brand new The slaughter takes some getting used to, The slaughter takes some getting used to.
