too late

Crime.

Tough, hard crime.

Push and scream,

One last breath,

Single gasp for air.

They can’t hear you,

Yell, cry, hit.

Still can’t hear you,

Yell, cry, hit,

Just fight back.

Crime.

Tough, hard crime.

Tear-streaked face,

Blood stained clothes.

One last hit,

Try once more.

They can’t hear you,

Yell, cry, hit.

Still can’t hear you,

Yell, cry, hit.

One last scream,

Yell, cry, hit.

One last shot,

Yell, cry, hit.

Gun in hand,

Yell, cry, hit.

POW!

They can hear you,

Yell,

Cry, 

Hit.

It’s too late.
