Crime scene

 

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
