On Nights, Such as This…
On Nights, Such as This…
By JFarrell
On nights, such as this…
The rain teems down in sheets
From a deep indigo sky
Laden with thick, heavy, ominous clouds
The lightening strikes down as serrated blades
Followed by, at first, a quiet, almost unnoticeable murmur
Which grows in depth and volume to become a deafening rumble
The only other sound
is the hypnotic sibilance of the rain
Droning out a tattoo
On nights, such as this…
Guy Fawkes and his conspirators plotted
ISIS contrive their next act of cowardice
The dark creatures feel stronger
Highywaymen held up coaches
Punks with knives rob the weak
And those that thrive in darkness feel braver
On nights, like this
Vermin are given more courage
To rob, rape, kill…..
anything a coward thinks will make him a man
Because, the day shows the shameful, pathetic excuse for the man he really is
The Bad Guys
