Born and raised in the wheat of Kansas.

Fell in love with the cute city girl.

Time flies for the new lovers.

Married on the sixth month called June

Full moon the bane of those that wears the blue.

10 hours on the Paseo.

Call after call to serve and protect.

Early morning 12 pass 4.

Texted from his sweetheart pancakes please.

Junior just kicked he must be hungry too.

The diner open 24 hours on the way.

"Hello Officer Nelson"came from behind the counter.

Pancakes to go and a coffee for here please.

........................................................................

Born and raised on the Paseo.

Brother and sister dead by age of 10.

School in and out taught on the streets.

Gave his soul to crack and smoke.

Three George's and a Jackson in his pocket.

Silver 32 in his waist, time to get some.

Two blocks from the diner.

Early morning 6 pass 4.

..................................................................

Door opens early morning 20 past 4.

Give me the "fucking money" the 32 screamed.

Turning Officer Nelson draws his service revolver.

"Drop it" he screams as the 32 speaks.

The old lady next to the officer slumps to the counter.

One shot the young man bleeding on the floor.

Three George's and a Jackson turning red.

Another young man from the Paseo laid dying.

Radio for transport and back up.

Full moon the bane of those that wear the blue.

Early morning 11 pass 6.

......................................................................

Cold pancakes in the microwave.

Holding his wife tight he feels the kick.

Junior wants his pancakes as they kiss.

Chance

To live.

To die.
