the real heroes.

When the first responders 
kicked in the door 
with shotgun, machine gun 
and bombs galore 
- they were the real heroes!
We startled and shocked 
as each of us sprang up, 
were beaten and shot. 
Then dragged from our home,
we could see the flames lick
as the troops inside, whom we
supported for this - kept kicking
and breaking the evidence, but
they got enough out to make sure 

the case sticks. 

Don't think this account is some 
cynical ploy! Some paean against
tyranny and bad joy for each good
girl and boy who signs up to be trained
in defense of us all. I do not here defame. 
You'll agree with me too: these heroes 
were real. Their actions adjusted and 
fit to bad deal. For what I don't say 
until now (and it's vile): someone 
in the house was a damn pedophile!

We probably all might have been, 
at that point. And that's what they say,
anyway.

Burn the joint.
