The Quiet, Dark Night

The quiet is a disease
That's spreading.
The dark covers the land
And shadows stalk you behind every corner.

The night sets in
And the horror begins.
Murders and criminals
use the shadows and the night

To prey upon the innocent.
The crimes are finished
And the morning creeps up
And exposes the crimes committed.

But the criminals
Have escaped
And only left trails to follow.
Justice is served

But the crimes
Continue.
