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.
