Someone's Son
Stage is set, cameras on, action starts with Act One
Pan the scene, much ado, lighting set with little sun
Extras on edge, watch with fear, hear the sound of the gun
The villain is at center stage, this play stars someone's son
----------------------------------------------
This drama is a sell-out, crowd of strangers come undone
No hands that cheer this premiere, the play hits no homerun
Guns and police, tension with no release, nowhere left to run
The villain is at center stage, this play stars someone's son
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three down and one don't know, this tale is no rerun
Crime tape lines center stage the destination none
Tears are real and emotion high, not acting overdone
The villain is at center stage, this play stars someone's son
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sisters, a girlfriend, wish on a star, this drama had not begun
Revisit the past, no future to see, no promise in the long run
Black hat is a drug that hangs in jail where the party is no fun
The villain is at center stage, this play stars someone's son
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No Emmy awaits the news of the day as the truth can't be outdone
Reality is viewed, no takes askewed, the desperate cannot outrun
The final act, curtain closed, the sad tale of another victim is spun
The villain was at center stage, this play starred someone's son
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
