One-shot deal inspired by "The Crow" comics by J. O'Barr and Pat Benatar's
song, "Suffer the Little Children."
Dedicated to one of my best friends, Sam.
The man in blue with a starred badge
Stands above a martyr, an innocent
Eyes turned to the black night
A golden band clutched to her chest
Mouth agape in a concave scream
Her pain, fear, sadness unknown
Black smudges across her brow
A kiss from the dark angel
Bright flashes of blue and red
Illuminating the second promise
The clown man made to her
Words heard only in the silent's ears:
"All things will be fair..."
She wished and dreamed
"...and there will be wonderful surprises."
Her cries were answered
His own eyes scan the letter once more
"There is a little girl"
A saint in disguise
"Who lives on Forrest St."
Condemned to hell
"It'll break your heart to see her there"
Damn right
The man in blue crumples the paper
And throws it into the street
With the hope that
Her suffering was brief
With the prayer that
She returned home safely
He is heard
The two are waiting for
The final promise to be kept
"See you in Heaven, Doll"
Damn right
"It's forever now"
