Hidden Horrors

The couple walked hand and hand along the well lighted street,
So in love and unsuspecting of the horror they were about to meet.

Making plans for the future as they strolled side by side,
Their love was a testimony of beauty not something they could hide.

But jealousy and anger have a way of ruining the best laid plans,
For there lying in wait between the bumpers of two closely parked vans.

Jimmy Freestom was hiding with a rifle in his hands,
Something in his brain had snapped and the devil was giving him commands.

With his hand on the trigger he let loose of the safety and readied the gun,
As he stood up to fire the lights went out each and everyone.

With no target to see Jimmy started firing into the night,
The couple took cover as their hearts were beating with fright.

When out of nowhere came the sounds of a siren and it made Jimmy run.
Now the thought hit Jimmy, Lord what have I done?

The police caught Jimmy and he gave it up without a fight,
But the million dollar question is who turned out the lights?

As soon as the police arrived the lights came on as before,
I think the Lord must have had a hand in this one, I feel pretty sure!
