Terror Town

Terror Town

A Poem by Joey Martinez

She 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
