Criminal Mind
Stole her security slithering in on a side-winding, slippery snake
Tenacious tyrant twisted truth to two-faced thievery on the make
Parasitic philanderer plies power from prey predestined to partake
As memories escape with an insatiable criminal on the take
============================
Indiscriminate hacker chips through steel without conscience at stake
Presidential prestige flies under the radar losing a man in a quiet quake
and words to a familiar song strum free from the artist in one final break
As memories escape with an insatiable criminal on the take
=============================================
No bars to hold a cruel joke that erased a canvas faded into opaque
Where no consequences exist for rendering absence as its keepsake
And the core is swallowed in a dark abyss while angels watch wide awake
As memories escape with an indefensible criminal on the take
===============================================
It must have been a moonless night as the wind caressed the lake
that rattled and rapped on the window to render once still to shake
Capsizing hostages dreamless to weary ghosts left in its silent wake
As memories escape with an indefensible criminal on the take
===============================================
