Father Turned Killer

Bound, Unable to help
Only able to cry and make an inner yell
Watched one by one
As they killed my son
Watched slowly as the light in his eyes 
Shutdown as I ask "Why?"
In my gut, a sharp pain is consumed
Every nerve and muscle and my eyes fume
Thinking of my revenge 
My need to avenge
I will not regret
No room to forget
But my revenge was a bet
So the stage was set
3 years later
I received my chance 
Killed them all one by one
Slowly and painfully
I was having so much fun
I've gone insane
My brain 
Wasn't in the right place
Since these animals wiped my son off the face
Off this Earth
"We did nothing to you", he said
Gun aimed at his head
You made a mistake when you did what you did, You thought i was dead
Bow! a bullet to the head
