The answer to this question need 
not be investigated.. no private eye.

The only way to kill a dream is by 
letting it die....

Long time ago in the land of Nod
Lived a tiny creature who looked quite odd
It was back to front
From its bum, it did grunt
It's being investigated by the “Back to Front” squad...

Zany 
yeomen
xrayed
Whales
virtually
unconcious,
twice!
Stating:
"Rare
quacking 
persisted
on
nightime
meanderings!"
Later,
kinky 
journalists
investigated
Hamas
guerillas
found
eating
Duck,
commenting
'bout
America!...

Do rubles rain right into his bank?
Tells many lies, can Trump be frank?
Made appointments, but they stank.
His approval ratings again just sank.
Investigated, so gave Comey yank!
Most now think he’s a hopeless wank.

Souls in Heaven.

First, was Neda, then Sahar, now Mahsa.
She was forced to bend her soul.
Once again, a woman died.
The government's sordid role.

Mahsa's death in custody,
Must be steadfastly investigated.
So Ebrahim Raisi said.
Once again, Iranians will feel frustrated.

Headline news lead bleeds
Accidental haiku death
Investigated

Killed by tainted verse
Unidentified victim
Radioactive

Exotic poem
Attracts curious reader
Dripping vitriol

Extreme allergic
Reaction resulted in
Death of some poor schmuck

Industry spokes folks
Encourage illiterates
Stay away from words...

I have never wanted to give someone a standing ovation until I met you, until I heard the six-string orchestra that is the spirit of your backbone, until I investigated the fingerprints others had left under your eyelids, until I met the ghosts you were sleeping with, until I discovered the scars in places you can't even talk about, yes, you make me feel like applause....

Every woman is a culprit
notorious they are in acts

Look at their being in place;
hair roasted or painted
finger nails denied self-worth
eye lashes pruned or replaced
lips imprisoned behind colors
ears brutally holding metals
men’s clothing colonized
under clothing castrated

Every woman is a culprit
all must be investigated for
crimes against their bodies...

One picture appears to be ovaries.

said our rosaries
please protect our ovaries
here and overseas

on sabbatical
that had become tactical
being  radical

investigated
then we had contemplated
interrogated

seemed stimulated
proving prevaricated
so poorly stated

had tolerated
was never educated
eradicated

while an allusion
would have caused much confusion
disturbed by delusion...

Call me a conspiracy theorist, call me a liar
Cast stones to set my soul on fire
It will not change what I choose to see
I don't consider my brain to be less than thee
I've investigated, researched and done my part
To sort through information from the start
Hoping to make decisions that are best
Fight through corruption and let go of the rest
I do not judge those who differ with what they decide
But, false accusations will not make me run and hide

corner unit joy
wraparound fun
borderline lightning taps the heart of the surface
images of wonder
neverending artwork
borderline lightning teases the beautification of the peaceful stillness
happiness in temporary dwelling
immovable inspiration
borderline lightning expresses loudly that it means no harm
unscathed sunshine smile
investigated abuse undetected
borderline lightning quietly moves on after freeing its constipated currents
corner unit bliss
wraparound peace...

She's a skilled fighter
Nests a fire-breathing dragon
Rests in the barrel of her gun
The rumble of thunder

Just a drop of her blood
The badge stood crime still
Time froze in her powerful spill
Injustice fertilised the ground

Against all tradition, she's a knight
Hidden beauty behind the vise
Maiden on the wings of justice
An angelic armour shinning light

I drink daily from her mug
A fresh cop of her love
Full of peace like a dove
Her shield protects me like a bear hug...

If a missing child is reported, the law acts immediately,
but if it's a missing adult or a missing teen,
48 hours must pass before the law investigates seriously,
because missing adults and missing teens,
show up on their own within 48 hours generally.
I heard that the first 48 hours is absolutely key,
in solving a crime successfully.
After 48 hours, the odds drop drastically.
A 1% loss because the report wasn't investigated immediately,
is a loss that is unacceptable and way too many....
