Terror TownA Poem by Joey MartinezShe was just a innocent soul, but now she's in a tough spot Because she has just been a witness to a upcoming terrorist plot She was on her way home, paying no mind But with just a simple glance, she saw something out of line Two men, strapping a device on the side of a tower At first she was gonna say something, but she was too much of a coward But just that simple stare, made the terrorists feel something was wrong in the air They realized she knew what they were doing and felt her eyes stare They quickly run up to her, and immediately said "Either you join us in this operation, or you're dead" Their plan was to have her under their wing to keep a close eye To make sure she doesn't tell anyone what tomorrow lies Without hesitation she agrees to join them in return for her life She just wants these next two days to be over so she can return to her normal life One sets the bomb, as the other keeps on guard, making sure no one suspects That this tower will explode and leave her hometown wrecked "I just should of kept on going, why did I stop and stare" "And why didn't I say something? Is it because I didn't care?" The bomb is set and they head back home Taking her with them, to make sure she's never alone They're scared she might escape and squeal They think she's gonna get loose and break their deal They cover her eyes so she doesn't know where they reside She sits in the back, worried in a clueless truck drive They enter the home, rest her on the couch to sleep And mention again "Don't say anything about tomorrow, not even a peep" She agrees, and cries herself to sleep Knowing the horror and tragedy that awaits the towns sheep The sun rises, today is the day Where tragedy strikes and makes all the color in the world turn gray They take her outside, take off the blind fold so she can see through her eyes "Are you ready to witness the sight of a thousand people cry and die?" The bomb was set for a 12:00 PM denotation She's about to become a accomplice of a mission that'll sadden the nation Just a few more miserable moments to go Until the tower that stands tall drastically blows 10...9...8...7...6..5...4...3..2..1 "The bomb has been detonated now lets watch the fun" A powerful jaw dropping explosion occurs right before her eyes Within a span of a few seconds, thousands of innocent people have lost their lives Cops, ambulances, helicopters surround the town Everyone's day had just been flipped upside down The tower that stood over a thousand feet tall Was crumbling down, and about to fall They blindfold her again, throw her in the car and drive away So they won't be hit by the debris and raw human decay They have a toast over the success of the attack And proceed to laugh about it and talk smack They come to a stop, look at her and say "How would you feel to join us for good, we'd like you to stay" Without hesitation, she denies the request But they tell her that she'll end up like the rest Still she denies the request to join the group Telling them what she saw today, melted her heart into a boiling pot of soup But they still had fear if they let her go that she would squeal Even though she took a oath not to break the deal She realizes that her life is in the hand of these two men Saying no could have just made her life's journey come to an end "Sorry, but this is what must be done" They grab a knife and stab her in the chest, cutting up her lungs A innocent girl, who liked to stay home, watch anime, and read Lies in a van driven by terrorists, who love nothing more than fear and greed They drive alongside a lake, grab her body and dump her there Now they can rest easy knowing there isn't any suspicion circling around the air
