A Calm Crime

It was cold and cloudy and the sun was hiding behind the mountains,
And it seemed so noisy but no one around or shouting,
And I tried to see who it was but it was so smoky,
And the wind played its tunes around the trees like low C,

I didn't understand.

It all came back to me as I saw the cold metal,
And now what seemed harmony, people went all mental,
I didn't have time to speak, time stopped in the moment,
The lightening stroke and the wind howled, it was like a transient,

Something happened.

It wasn't night, it was early morning, yet it seemed so dark,
He was laughing, as the bullet clashed in and left its mark,
On the other guy, who was walking with me,
I was amazed and shocked as the people flee,

What's wrong?

Guilty, sentenced to death, I felt sad,
I cried, but oh well the guy was mad,
I never thought the ending would be so obscene,
Although I didn't think it was so mean,

I felt calm.

The clouds parted that night, the stars were bright,
I was smiling again; I felt everything was right,
The wind passed by, with a thrush's melody,
And in my heart there was nothing but harmony,

Like nothing happened.
