We understand that you were a witness to a vicious crime
Please give us your accord, but please take your time
I saw man who had a knife
He stabbed another man twice
The man was lying dead in a pool of blood
It looked like an overflowing flood
Yet I could see anger in the man’s eyes
I witnessed, but I didn’t say anything as I thought that would be wise
However I don’t think the two men knew each other
It seemed more related in being cut off on the side walk
There weren’t any words of consultation in talk
The other man just came up with the knife on stalk
But it was definitely rage
Now I don’t know the man’s age
However honestly, the man in question should be put into a jail cage
I fear for my life myself
Being a witness, I could have also been dead
Yet I am alive in the witness stead
But I had to tell my testimony in order for justice to be done.
