Morgan Secret Recipe Part 2
The stranger left town but
return a fortnight with six
more men armed with guns
and blades,
They came face to face with
the townfolks bearing
choppers and chains,
And in their midst was
Morgan and his sons,
Each carrying pistols and two
barrel shotguns,
The tension was filling the air
and the breathing was hard,
Around the corner stood,
wives and children all armed,
With anything they can get
their hands on,
Both sides came closer with
every stride,
And while the surrounding
was getting hot and tensed,
A boy ran out to meet the
stranger with his toy gun
pointing at him,
And Bang! A single shot was
fired,
And on the floor laid the
stranger without blood,
For a moment shocked
registered across the faces on
both sides,
And then laughters filled the
air,
The boy stood confused at the
crowd as he thought he killed
the man with a single bullet,
And to his surprise the
stranger sit up and smile
back,
The stranger stood up and
looked at Morgan,
At once the crowd grew silent
and nervously waited,
The strangers spoke with
coldness in his voice,
I have done things so
hideous and never regret,
But now I carry my worst
demons on my back,
I cannot bring your boys
back,
But I and my trusted gang
will die before your family is
in danger again,
We have come to protect you
and your family as
bodyguards,
Your enemies are many and
you could get all the help you
can get,
And I am not asking for your
permission nor any of my men,
There's a war coming to this
town for the price on your
head.
