A private eye



As a private eye, I give my all,
Exchanging my life to answer the call.
Defending rights and seeking solutions,
In a world full of weird illusions.

Rare kindness found so deep,
Opening homes, hearts to keep.
Restoring faith when it seems lost,
In humanity, the ultimate cost.

Building communities, making connections,
Heartfelt reflections, no exceptions.
Meeting people, listening to their tales,
Renewing hope when all else fails.

I carry on with missions in sight,
Knowing the impact of human light.
In a society that can often seem hard to fight
These moments shine, leaving a spark of brighter light
