An Evil Town

Welcome to an evil town,  
A place where dreams never come true  
Where hope die’s at birth  
never staying with you.  
 
There's panic on the edge of town
the invisible wall has a crack
has somthing got in?
or somthing got out?
somones's got out
never to come back.

Out of black toxic seas
somthing wicked this way comes
leaving a trail of destruction
of bones, batter, and crumbs.
 
Closed down seaman stained toilets,  
just to save a couple of pence,  
wearing latex gloves  
I find the best defence.  
 
Curtain twitching, bone bitching,  
Militants man their posts  
like armed Nazi’s at a POW Camp.  
There electronic eyes always watching,  
trying to spot the outsider.  
But this is an evil town,  
a town they should have closed down.  
 
Red rain the colour of blood  
spits at my feet and heel  
a dire warning to some  
this threat is very real.  
 
Thief’s and misfits  
roamers and interlopers  
Grow out of the shadow of street corners    
Clenched teeth and fists  
X-ray eyes survey the terrain for all intruders.  
 
All the shops are closed  
as if they were never open.    
All is quiet like  
they are expecting a riot?  
 
In this place,  
my trust has always been misplaced  
we should nuke this town from outer space,  
just to feel safe.  
 
Watch your futures end  
and your nightmares begin,  
Your never leave this evil town,  
because leaving is a sin.
