The hooded thug waited for a victim
needing money to buy drugs!
Without care of the hurt it will cause
only wanting the next fix!
Waiting ready silently in a dank alley
adding to his despicable tally!
A couple celebrating their engagement
came laughing towards him.
When he pounced as they walked passed
no warning of an assault!
Just a blur of the hooded thug appeared
the man with a knife speared!
The weapon thrust without any hesitation
the young man had no chance.
Demanding money the girl had to give him
the thug ran off unmoved!
A screaming woman cradling her loved one
his evil deed done!
Leaving the desperate couple far behind
as good Samaritans ran over.
Witnesses to yet another atrocious act
the hooded thug didn’t care!
He’d got their money for his next score
not long before he’d want more!
The couples excitement permanently ended
the young man never recovered!
They both were only in their early twenties
two lives had been ruined.
The hooded thug was known to the law
soon knocking on his door!
He had been charged several times before
hoping there was evidence.
Regrettably at first none could be detected
but skill luck and endeavour.
Forensic evidence was found on the thug
who killed for his choice of drug!
The woman who thought her life had finished
found another as her sadness diminished.
I can only wish her well for the future.
