Homicide is My Life

Homicide is my life
Forgive the contradiction
But after 20 years of service  
In this frozen metropolis
Called Minneapolis
I've investigated  
So many murders
I've become indifferent  
To the crime
 
But this one  
Is an exception
It was made to look  
Like just another suicide
But before a person
Hangs themselves
They always have
One last cigarette
And her pack of Salem's
Weren't even unwrapped
 
And what green eyed
Redhead sweety
Would bother donning  
A emerald see-through
Babydoll nightie  
For her date  
With the almighty?
 
Things didn't add up
It's my job as a detective
To bring everything
Into perspective
 
And I won't stop
Till her killer
Is caught
Because if I don't
The image of this
Exotic beauty
Will haunt me
Into eternity!
