A brief poem about the idea of an eye for and eye and how justice is always done.

-At The Scene Of The Crime-
by Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Blood
Guts
All of this
Nuts
Who
Killed who
Evidence
Does suggest
The finger pointing
Begins
One accuses
Another
Then every other
Before long
All are suspects
But not one alone
Is yet guilty
At the scene
Of the crime
There is
Evidence
Much of it
Inadmissible
Most of it
Inconsequential
Specs of it
Irrefutable
The assailant
Will be caught
It might take time
It may take
An eternity
But rest assured
His day will come
He’ll be tried
By his peers
Convicted
By the same
The punishment
Will be quite fitting
Death
Lesser the means
Unequal the pain
But in the end
It will be the same
An eye for an eye
One life
For another
At the scene
Of the crime
The truth
Always hides
The want
And the why
Also evades
But be sure
Without question
That justice
At some point
Will indeed be done
People are capable of
The greatest of evil
But behind every act
Remains many facts
It just takes one
To lead
To every other
The killer
Will be caught
Thus be judged
Convicted
For what he’s done
Put to his end
An eye for and eye
A life for a life
Justice must be dealt
Regardless the price…
