Send Them Straight To Hellfire

Thoughts of taking an eye for an eye saturate my being.
The black invades my very heart because of what I'm seeing.

Cruelty to the helpless beings brings out the rage in me.
Some day I might just cross that line when I can't let it be.  

So many times I think that Old West justice should prevail.
These ugly less than humans should be run out on a rail.

Let them feel the pain and misery they richly deserve.
If I can be the one to give it I won't flinch a nerve.

Innocent animals and wee ones have such love to give.
The evil ones causing them pain just don't deserve to live.

I do agree. Why show remorse to those who cannot feel it themselves?... A powerful piece, expressed so well, Deb. Congrats on a great win!

Yes I do feel very angry when I witness or hear about these things but really I am not a violent person at all...I wrote this in a dark manner for the "Dark " contest. But I certainly want to see these people get what they have coming for their cruelty. Deb
