Dusk, June 04, twenty fourteen
Seven thirty, Atlantic time
In the town of Moncton NB
A revengeful, hateful crime
Intersections are roped off
A town “lockdown” they said
Five Mounties have been shot
Three of these members dead
Thoughts and prayers
Immediately
Are sent to the families
Of the RCMP
High-powered rifle in his hand
A cross bow on his frame
A mission now in camouflage
Rambo, is his game
Posted on his facebook
Infatuation does concede
Hatred born for authority
Disdain for RCMP
Hook in Mouth by Megadeth
Dark, destructive mystery
A little man, with a big eraser
Changing history
In the line of duty
A badge of honour worn
To serve and protect their country
To God their oath is sworn
Tragedy and darkness
On the history of the force
The flags are flown half mast
For the fallen, there’s remorse
There is no greater love
Nor will there ever be
A man will sacrifice his life
A recruit of the RCMP
With love and respect
In deepest sympathy
