Disclaimer: Don't own Death Note. :]

A/N: Wrote this as an assignment for Journalism. Cool, huh? I wish I could make every assignment Death Note related. x]

------------------------------------------------

Ebony, obsidian eyes

Serious and clear

Mind working on the case

That's distracted it all year

Alias shown bright

On the computer screen

Communication imperative

If he wishes to succeed

This cat and mouse game

Must come to an end

Death is inevitable

Either him or his friend

Paranoia embraces

Fear wraps his soul

The famous detective

May soon be no more

But forfeit is unthinkable

He's simply too far gone

If he wishes to prove his point

Surrender would be wrong

Blasphemy's not his purpose

But justice through and through

And he's quite determined that

He'll succeed very soon

All that's needed now

Is evidence to verify

The gut-feeling he's had

This entire time

Their sport is winding down

To the predicted climactic end

The winner will shine through

Detective or his dear friend
