An old devil and a lovely angel

An old devil and a lovely angel

------------------------------------------

It was a dark night of december

none was there to talk and walk

Myself was placed to guard that place

cause that was a place of violence

The air was too chill and the mist was so high

There i saw that cruel devil with a lovely child

He might be sevnty and more but

that kid my seven or eight

She was in his arms on sleep  but

he was trying to rape it

That innocent cried due to pain and fear

I was alerted by that cry and cught in a second

My cane brought the facts that he was it’s master

I took that angel to a safety place and

beaten him to run for a long way.
