Case File 101583
This was something
no one should ever see,
Case File 101583,
moths flickering under
a street light,
a young mother and daughter
were killed on the same night,
and in the same way,
it was just evil at play,
and Hell continued burning,
snapping their necks by turning
their heads completely around,
dropping the bodies to the ground,
young lives wasted was such a disgrace,
and the night started off face to face,
an argument, a brief struggle,
and for a second everything was still,
then the kill,
the lead detective just wanted to sit,
he would feel his face flush,
and he couldn’t understand it,
perhaps it was a cocaine rush,
it was a haunting crime scene,
the mother barely seventeen,
and the daughter almost three,
life gone, spirits free,
it was a tragic day,
and the lead detective
shook his head and looked away.
