Silent Mystery.

Silent letters in the night

Silent screams of fright

Fright and fear in the air

Fright and panic everywhere

Everywhere there is a clue

Everywhere there is a shoe

Shoe with blood and mud

Shoe that belongs to Bud

Bud who went missing last week

Bud who loved to play hide and seek

Seek and find the truth

Seek and solve the mystery

Mystery of the haunted house

Mystery of the silent mouse

Mouse that saw it all

Mouse that heard the call

Call for help and mercy

Call for justice and peace

Peace and quiet in the grave

Peace and harmony in the brave

Brave enough to face the dark

Brave enough to leave a mark

Mark of courage and hope

Mark of love and cope

Cope with the loss and grief

Cope with the shock and disbelief

Disbelief in the evil deed

Disbelief in the silent letters

Letters that spell out a name

Letters that reveal a shame

Shame of a killer on the loose

Shame of a crime with no excuse

Excuse me for being sad

Excuse me for being mad

Mad at the world and fate

Mad at the silent letters

Letters that haunt me in my dreams

Letters that make me want to scream

Scream out loud and cry

Scream silent letters goodbye

Goodbye to Bud and his smile

Goodbye to him for a while

While I wait for justice to be done

While I remember silent letters in the sun.
