Housing Vindication

A self-vindicated home
Stripped down to the barest bones
With rusted statues crumbling
Fountains built of moss-filled stone
A scene of a murderous crime
That will stand the test of time
The recovery of each blood-soaked cloth
Dredged in mold and lime
A cold case file left unsealed
After the gruesome sight is revealed
Footprints not known to man
But of monstrous appeal
The gray scaled tapes capture the beast
Solemn clues to say the least
As it calls for every child around
To join him as he feasts
