Criminal

Footsteps as silent 
Time as accurate
Mistakes as negative
Down on floor
He screams to people 
As guns he hold
Aiming toward them 
As mercy as zero 
As goal as one 
As plan to be done
As police he fears
As bombs he place
As orders to be followed
Regardless…
Regardless of all others
As life as short…
