[The Real LJ Idol Season 10] Week 6: Heel Turn

Lurking Whisperer
"We weren't always like this,"
Granmè once told me
in whispers over High Tea,
"We were the good guys once,
Some of the best,
Taking from immoral 1%
To help the lowly poor the best."
She continued,
"The Others
Will tell you we're evil,
But that's merely
a difference
Of opinion.
We do what we must
To survive."

I hold that memory
Close to heart
When I volunteer
To investigate
The small town
With the vampire mayor
Declaring itself Sanctuary

While I won't out myself
Just yet
A lurking whisperer
Using the shadows to
Look watch wait
And inform

Like the vampires
I prefer the night
So this town should suit me
Just fine

And who knows
Maybe I'll find
That doing this
Might help us
Survive.
