They each learnt that day the hard way
maybe their homes were not the best
nor parents who cared what they did
from each other found that support
egging them on to violate others lives
with despicable disregard for feelings
not caring what property was damaged
or those innocent people they outraged!
Well known for their anti-social behaviour
that was escalating into brutality
certain nothing could stop their rampage
met at the park to drink and smoke
weed shouting felt they were invincible
knew an elderly man lived close by
throwing stones at his windows for fun
but this day their rampage would be done!
Within this house there was an evil entity
that wanted to take his soul and escape
its eternal imprisonment on this ground
the old man was aware of its presence
but was strong in his stubborn resistance
but hatred at the torment of the juveniles
his will gone they would lose their smiles!
The group jeered throwing anything at hand
as part of their nightly ritual onslaught
they could see him sitting near the window
which excited their lust for blood even more
coming boldly to the glass and banging
saw him slowly slump onto the frayed carpet
for a second silent then a cheer of celebration
mercilessly with contempt at his desecration!
Thinking it best to scarper from this crime scene
as sirens could be heard approaching
but found they were paralysed unable to escape
heard a door open and forced to turn
there stood the old man grinning eyes pitch black
helpless were forced in they had no comeback!
As the police arrived expecting the unruly youths
were surprised to see the house on fire
soon the fire brigade arrived discovering inside
just one body of the owner nobody else
even after witnesses told them what they had seen
the group were never ever seen again
no clues of the mysterious disappearances detected
the truth of what happened no one suspected!
The house was renovated but tenants would not stay
always saying something unseen inside did prey!
