I did not pursue

Wealth, power, fame

They were fleeting illusions

Not even women

The sweetest of all sorrows

Instead, I hunted the predator

Those who would hurt

With their God given gifts

The ultimate perversion

Lucifer’s betrayal

Judas’ kiss

The dagger behind the smile

No, I rolled the hard six

Hit back as hard as I could

Struck back from every position

With all that I had

The beatings made me wise

I don’t give thanks or apologize

Was it enough?

I can’t answer

I relive it all without pain

But it was about, above all

Even truth and justice

Love
