One Misty Eyed Day

One misty eyed day, I walked away I never saw him again Trying to solve a case, that wasn’t mine Brought me through the trenches Depths of unbearable pain All the while, watching the corrupt win again The intricate web of lies weaved Twisted facts, contradictions and scientific flaws Haunt the mind, from such a tragedy Yet the worst, watching those who taunted Knowing who they are, as they breathe fire As they laugh, at the same time Gripping evil in their clutches of life Staying free, while he is there Heidi Sands 5/23/18

Your profound write reminds me of some evil folks who'll do anything to get ahead; even if it involves slandering a persons name or murdering that person...an awesome write Heidi!~Che :)

The corrupt win again, all to often it seems. But one day they'll be held to account Tom

It is so sad when the corrupt when again, but in the end, I wonder if they truly ever win the final campaign?
