4
They shoot from ambush, shoot without warning, not caring who they hit.
5
They keep fit doing calisthenics of evil purpose, They keep lists of the traps they've secretly set. They say to each other, "No one can catch us,
6
no one can detect our perfect crime." The Detective detects the mystery in the dark of the cellar heart.
7
The God of the Arrow shoots! They double up in pain,
8
Fall flat on their faces in full view of the grinning crowd.
9
Everyone sees it. God's work is the talk of the town.
