The murderer and the murdered There is a crime scene Down the market square, beside a canteen What do we say of yards of yellow tape? And hope these flung wrappers do not indicate **** Pandemonium, my subconscious mind listened Roar and uproar, as van mirrors glistened Hellena is the name of a little black girl who was shot She fell to the ground as blood refused to clot Hope the shot did not **** her thoughts and dreams Like balloons, squandered down a vessel's beam She is not the only one whose mind has been blown Her family screamed; "are we alone?" Who will make justice descend from heaven? So fast, such as at the count of seven Kendrick is the name of the merciless murderer Looking for a green pasture? Better be a laborer My lord, I am guilty of my offence Sentenced to lifetime imprisonment despite advocate's defence On the clinic bed, Hellena coughed to life Consciousness regained. Her dreams and thoughts came back to life. -'Bintan Ola [email protected]
