Joseph R, conveyancer
killed a hobo with his car:
the body’s still off Highway 9
if someone went and took the time

Paddy O, loyal to this day
use to be in the IRA:
murdered the guilty and innocent
doesn’t quite know what it meant

blood among us.

Sarah B, mother of five
only three now left alive:
it’s not her fault when they die
‘cause babies always cry and cry

Ombaku A, refugee
only wanted to be free:
yet slaughtered with his machete
his hated rival ethnicity

blood among us.

your friends and family
used to kill, some in war
or just the thrill:
perhaps in order to survive

they never felt so alive.

peaceful now, but
in their time,
beasts of the greatest crime

blood among us.
