False Light

.

On a cold November night

Death struck Mulbrose Street

One man dead, a shot to the head

Now surrounded by the law’s fleet

.
Detective Mahoney took in the scene

Of the rivers of crimson upon the pavement

Deathly cold air stinging his face

As dead eyes stare up from the pavement

.
This man’s name was once Fallere Hikari

Son, Brother, Fiancé, and Friend

A literal pillar of the community

But now he is nothing in the end

.
Another officer came up to Mahoney

And to him he spoke:

“Detective, we’ve found a witness to this crime

The murderer wore a cloak”

.
Murderer? Murderer?

No, a hero was he!

This man must be rewarded

For killing Fallere Hikari

.
No man could be so perfect

Not without some flaw, any flaw!

Mr. Hikari was evil without a doubt

Good deeds could not hide what he saw

.
“Killer, my killer,” Fallere spoke

“Why do you hate me so?”

Mahoney was taken aback by the question

How could it be he did not know?

.
“I hate you because of what you represent

False truth, false light, false hope

You are nothing but a monster, Fallere”

He replies, wanting desperately to gloat

.
A monster, yes a monster

This is what he deserved for his optimism

Death to the optimists, to the pessimists!

To all who I find, to everyone!

.
“Luna! Luna!” were his last words

As death visited Midsford once more

An ocean of crimson staining the pavement

Mulbrose Street is covered with gore

.
Loki, god of mischief, laughs giddily at the sight

The madman’s death completing his night

Evil is everywhere, but as hard as we might

Man cannot look away from the false light
