The Living and the Dead

The City is Lit Bright. The Fire is Burning High on this Mississippi Night. Why? I Don't Know. Their are Cold Men that are Dead and the Gun is Still Warm from the Fire Fight. This Should be a Easy Moral Case for Man, Woman and Child. The Accused has Not Done Wrong. Even the Law has its Problem with Rats and Leaks. The Fire is Burning. Black and White. Justice is Crazy on this Case Tonight. The Law is the Law, but Man, Woman and Child have to have a Heart Tonight. The Wrong that has been done, is the Wrong by the Dead. The Dead did Themselves in Again. The Dead is the Dead and Mississippi is Burning High and Bright Tonight. Why? Because the Reason the Dead is Dead is because the Dead Never Learned the Livings Laws of the Land, Even in the House of Justice. The Fire Fight was Short, but on Target and the Dead Danced Their Dance to Their Home in Infierno. Hola Says the Diablo. As He Welcomes Home More Brothers to Devour. Because of Their Sins on this Night...

InFierno = Hell

Hola = Hello

Diablo = Devil
