THE DEADLY JEWEL

There in the window atop a tall building leans
A man. His shadowy figure watches and waits.
His hands sweet and the molded metal beckons.
In the parade travels a man with increasing power.
This man's guided waves are surrounded with shields
Of flesh. In front of him, there is a grassy hill with
A fence. Cheering crowds conceal the hidden guest.
A triangulating horror is complete through a clap
Of thunder. The window is empty and the object
Hidden, but the man's existence is reconciled when
The blue and gold legs pronounce his deed. Threats
Of exposure are in the air. For his efforts, he will
Receive payment in the form of a gem. Unknowingly,
Unsuspecting when it will be delivered, it's too late
For him to refuse as the dark, dark jewel is a Ruby.
