Of Law
The countryside is quiet tonight
There's not a party in sight and earshot
The nightlights are flickering with their warm fluorescence
Everything is all in tune with the world at night.
As a couple sits on a bench
Young, young love is in the air.
He takes her hands in his
Promising youthful discretions to come
She kisses him passionately
Then, they heard a scream.
A blood, curdling scream wafts though the air
They hold on to each other
He grabs her hand
Lead her towards the source
They run
They pant
They can smell the gunpowder of the .45 caliber
The blood of a drunken football star
The scent of Mike's Hard Lemonade
The couple screams
They scream for help.
She dials up 911 on her cellular phone.
He manages to stop the bleeding
The other man is still alive
Thanks to his 200 dollar cardigan.
Sirens. They pierce the air with their high calls.
The men and women in brown and blue come
Just in time to save the football-star.
They bring their friends,
The boys and girls in red and white.
They bring him back with their toys.
The men and women in blue and brown question the couple.
Thy cast their magic yellow ribbon over the scene.
To ward off the demons that dares to defile the scene
Two of the blue and browns
One a man dressed brown
Another a woman, dressed in blue
Question the couple back at their refuge of steel and criminals.
She's crying
He's hysterical
But they comfort them
Informing them that had they not gotten to the football star in time
He would have died.
And so, with warm wool blankets
And a pat on the back, they are off.
The man in brown
And the woman in blue
Decide to search the quiet countryside
For any hits on the assailant
From their chariots of white
They roar off
Joined by their friends
Searching every possible scenario
Questioning every person in connection to the victim
Stringing sentences and forming more questions
Which in turn
Leads to more questions than answers
But, it always has a bizarre way of leading back to something
This is the life of Law
The essence of what it is
It is only those who wish to seek them
And to those who wish to hide from them
Beware! So shines their radiance on all that are in need
So shall their radiance be on the damned
The End
