Heinous Act

A knife, gun, two men and murderous intentions
People standing helpless, a terror-stricken mounting tension.
A young man's life is heinously taken,
Never again to awaken.
As the victim's blood leaches through the murderer's fingers.
Confused, people in the street overcome their fears.

A mother, wife and family weep heartbreaking tears.
They'll not be alone, the whole Nation will cry - not water drops,
No, we will unite and sob a wave of acid etching drops
We'll burn the murderous hands that sullied this bold Soldier's precious blood.
We, at the very least, can purify it again in the tearful flood.
