A Random Tale
Abandoned at random,
A haven for some!
Drunks stumble, staggered, pauses!
Feet aching collectors taking 5 away from their cause,
Harassed, stressed. mothers with their charges,
Teenagers giving it large,
The mean traffic warden sneaking a rest,
An old woman bouncing on the cushions giving it a test !
Unaware of the incidental bloodstains ,soaked through to it's bones,
Hidden deep within this ruby, red, random throne,
Abandoned to hide the damming evidence,
Now heavily contaminated by weary pedestrians,
Hidden out in the open wide,
So the random murder will fester, go untried !
