Deep in the dark
The night far spent
Dawn breaking stealthily
Terror lurking desperately
The unsuspecting sleeps
Oblivious of the danger
Driven by envy and hate
Aiming to inflict pain
Then time stands still
Flashing daggers recklessly
Terror hopes to intimidate
Yet fear seizes his heart
As my sleepy eyes light up
In wonder rather than fear
At the stupidity on display
Faith wells up from within
I am more than a conqueror
No weapon can prevail
No force can overrun
I declare, just as a King
Terror is held spellbound
Never imagined such boldness
A response totally unnerving
Has sent his mission spiraling
The words slashing like a sword
Has rendered him defenceless
He was programmed to flee
At such a firm resistance
The weapons dropped in haste
Ugly litters on that gory scene
Even deep in the dark
Faith’s steel held sway
…Inspired by events narrated here, that unfolded in an armed robbery attack in 2007
