Vigilante

By happenstance a mansion appeared within the car’s peripheral view; They should have seen so subtle a clue the moment the moonlight disappeared; Walking right into a planned sequence the scarlet phrase had to stay hidden; Committing murder is forbidden, this crime’s the ultimate self defense; Arrived for a Black and White party, never saw the library in blood; Heavy body fell with a hard thud amidst all the wine and pageantry; Ebony gowns and ivory bow ties nip at a meal and will waltz of course; Holding hands in butterfly discourse someone’s words are really twisted lies; Antique design on that candlestick matched the handle of the revolver; A convoluted problem solver, still what other option could she pick? If the details were disclosed in full maybe some would understand motive; Retaliation we can forgive; Abusing your spouse is disgraceful; She took matters into her own hands pain tolerance reached it’s lowest point; Listener the victim could anoint, can’t reach out if noone understands; Tired of people turning a blind eye when it’s clear someone is suffering; Peacock, mustard, and green bruising makes it easy to play the bad guy; Conclusion of this clandestine plot? It now can be labeled a success; A woman no longer in distress, the deserving just acquired a kill shot.
