Morse Code

The hour is early The night is cold The flashlights flicker The tone; broken clarity with owl call Darkness is so much more than night Where evil roams, t'was here this night! Listening to the rain land on my hat Watching the water glisten and roll over the cars body part Waiting for the man to let the body pass A stretcher is waiting, a body bag! Notebook contains initial facts In a pocket on me with a cold hand Sometimes I wonder If I really care I get to know them after seeing their dead stare! I have to dig in worse than mud I go to places where few would go In all the madness I need to know I promise to them that I'll do all I can Each case weighs heavy on this mortal man I look back on my life I have no kids, I have no wife! Killers and rapists, thieves and villains I hunt, I forage, I seek, I find My childhood hero made me my mind I sometimes ask him what he thinks I hear his voice say this to me of all things: ENDEAVOUR.
