They gathered in the city after abandoning the farms.
A silent somber motley crew, full of piss and doing harms.
They hardly drew a notice, just didn’t look the part.
The country cousins consortium, taking mayhem to an art.
They stole and raped and pillaged. Took a dark and fearsome path.
Until they ran into a ringer with a cold and wicked laugh.
There’s a silence in the meadows. She is waiting by the phone.
But her boys don’t call or write. For their sins they must atone.

Nice poem and beautiful art.

Thank you however the art was painted by some Norwegian fellow a long time ago. I just like to use it to exclaim ‘shock’.
