The Veil of Shadows
253 Words
In the shadows of the city streets,
Where dangers lurk and evil meets,
There lies a force that's cold and stark,
A world controlled by the mafia's very dark.
With suits of silk and eyes of steel,
They rule with cunning and appeal,
Their power extends far and wide,
A grip on society they don't hide.
They deal in drugs and dirty deeds,
Corruption follows where they lead,
A trail of blood and broken lives,
Their empire built on ruthless dives.
They say money talks, but in their world,
It's the screams of victims that are heard,
The cries of those who dare defy,
The mafia's wrath, they can't deny.
From extortion to murder most foul,
They leave a trail of mayhem that howls,
Their code of silence sealed by fear,
No one dares to interfere.
They operate in secret, unseen,
Their influence felt but never seen,
A web of lies and deceit they weave,
To achieve the power they believe.
But justice waits in the darkest night,
A force of good that shines so bright,
The law will come, the law will win,
The mafia's reign of terror will soon end.
For evil cannot stand forever,
In the face of truth, it will sever,
The ties that bind the wicked together,
And break the hold of darkness forever.
So beware, oh mafia's very dark,
Your time is coming, your end will mark,
The dawn of a new day, a world set free,
From the tyranny of your rule, we will finally be.
