Ray William Johnson spins true-crime reels

Comic like words “aight”, “foine” and quick takes

I keep watching, thrilled when I hear “until”

The stories are wild–I don’t have words to express how I feel

Every day I wake, search for Ray’s latest makes

Ray William Johnson spins true-crime reels

Each episode chronicles those who rob, kidnap, often kill

Some villians start off small then up the stakes

I keep watching, thrilled when I hear “until”

These lowlifes think they’re crimes are concealed

A lock clicks shut with that sound Ray makes

Ray William Johnson spins true-crime reels

Each culprit trusts the dark will be their shield

Murder is fine if no one investigates

I keep watching, thrilled when I hear “until”

I don’t praise blood or death or human ill

I delight in justice for brutal “mistakes”

Ray William Johnson spins true-crime reels

I keep watching, thrilled when I hear “until”

About the Creator

Tina D. Lopez

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
