He has been

hurting people

for nearly two decades,

and the judge only gives him 20 years—

a small amount for what he had done.

“I’m sorry” he says,

he even broke down in tears

–but it’s all lies.

Lies to protect

themselves 

to make them look like

stand up citizens

but they are not;

they are monsters.

They threw

me to the ground,

and put a gun against my head,

they said they were gonna

throw my body in the lake.

I screamed for help

but went unheard,

I’m sorry, Mom and Dad.

I don’t think I am

gonna make it home

tonight.

All because

of a watch.

As I plea for mercy,

I lay helpless

on the cold hard ground.

How could a person do this?

But they are not people,

they are monsters.

All this for stealing

a watch—

such brutal treatment 

for such a

small thing.

But as I lost hope

a blinding light

came into view.

My wish 

for a second chance

come true.

Now I have finally

won against

these false protectors;

I have finally rid

the world of these monsters.
