Crime Scene

Tony36

Sirens heard down the street 

Getting closer with every beat

What happened

What went down

Was someone shot

Did the criminal get found

 

Spinning lights and sirens approach 

The house across the street

Crime scene tape soon surrounds the place

 

I walk outside

I hear the word gunshot

I hear the words dead man

A broken window 

Is all I see

 

Soon My neighbor is wheeled out on a stretcher 

He was the dead man

Wife and children nowhere to be found

Investigation moves on

 

I don't know

I don't understand 

This was such a nice place to live

Now this happens 

 

Everyone standing there is questioned by the cops

I tell them what I know

The cops thank us and move on

 

Detectives search for clues

Then back up and leave

 

I go back to bed

And wait

    Goodnight! Law enforcement cannot tell the citizenry anything yet the lack of his family says a mouthful, and his death is too haunting to be simply accepted like it's another fine day in the neighborhood.
    Winsomly rendered with an excellent poignancy and great details. Thank you very much for sharing.

                    I am rapidly forming the opinion that the world we live in today is fast becoming one huge crime scene .. nice ink though .. Neville
