It's On

Heroes are masked, monosyllabic but super. The rat gangs obviously are bad news and apparently loose and reprehensible, most are irredeemably dead-eyed. It's on! Action demands reaction, busters need something to bust. Make-believe peddles a glossy fantasy until reality accommodates, comes true arrives not in good and bad costumes but anonymously in SUV's, stolen bikes, and highjacked Lincolns. It goes on… Momma bears are aroused, sports fans are inflamed creeps challenge, rob and mob. A citizenry cowers then strikes back with headlines. It's most definitely on. News flash -- it's over, the good guys are back watching TV, the delinquents and sociopath's are out on no-bail, the jail is a refuge for non-combatants. On and off mostly. Not long ago we were all masked and suspected everyone, but now no one is guilty until freed - all of us bleed. Back on... it's Back On!
