Bridge Over Troubled Water

The river crashes against the shore,
And the water carries an odor foul to the core.
A body is found once more.

Theories fly like crazed birds as a person goes missing,
And searches are conducted in the waters below.
The river crashes against the shore.

“Serial killer!” is what some say,
They link smiley face graffiti to it all like a conspiracy.
And the water carries an odor foul to the core.

It’s happening again,
The crews found something in the water,
A body is found once more.
