Deacon's Demise...
Loud smacks and then a scream
Interrupted Killer's dream
He had thought to take a nap
Eyes closed, head bent, 'neath his cap
A man had a woman by the hair
His gaze upon Killer sitting there
Said, "What the fuck you looking at ?"
" If yer looking at me, take off yer hat."
Killer's mind working kinda slow
Took a minute, to say, "Oh, I know!"
He thinks he's tough, and challenged me
Has he got the stuff? Guess we'll see
Killer stood up, and the man smiled
"Guess you ain't never seen me riled"
Killer said," Can't see a need to talk"
"I just wanta know, can you walk the walk?"
Coming together, hands raised to fight
Surprised at each other's seeming might
Both men thought it would be a breeze
To bring the other man down, to his knees
Straining, they twisted that way and this
'Till Killer smiled and blew him a kiss
Freaked out, he faltered, stupified
Killer didn't flinch... the other man died
Swinging the branch with his best
Killer pushed it deep... into the man's chest
As the man's knee's began to fold
The blood spurting out... to the touch, was cold
" I am Killer" he said...And now you know it too
"Before you die, tell me who are you?"
As the light in his eyes, slowly weakened
The dark eyed man sighed.... I was Deacon
