Justice is avenged by the police officer arresting a murderer.
Justice is avenged by the boy who sought out revenge.
He was found guilty.
Deemed the nickname by the L.A.P.D of the "Torturer."
Justice is the act of revenge on something fairly deserving,
The boy felt hopeless hiding and observing.
The officer joined the force to cure the world of injustice,
Appearing on the news, the officer expresses;
'Our jobs are to protect and serve, just trust us'
At age nine the boy had obtained a record.
Shoplifting makeup to hide his bruises
A boy with a record or a boy squeaky clean,
In this world, the first choice always loses.
His first paid job began as a tween,
Working a 20-hour week to afford groceries,
Watching his classmates thrive with no financial worries.
Bullied at school then bullied at home
The cycle will soullessly repeat.
At 19 he is convicted, feeling the opposite of a defeat.
Clocking in at 8:00 am, the officer began his morning shift,
Two creams, one sugar, and a dash of cinnamon to fuel his day.
Eating donuts on his break, as any cop cliche.
Rotting in his cop car in hopes of the smallest bit of action
Parked on the side of the road near the town's main intersection
A sudden jolt of adrenaline fuels his middle-aged body
"10-44d," the code for 'send a coroner' alerts his radio.
The officer turns on his sirens and speeds for the show.
A father's love language can be unique from the rest,
The boy wanted to love his father, he tried his very best,
Instead of hugs and affection touching one's heart,
Objects are thrown leaving scars on each body part.
He just could not handle the pain of another,
He loves his siblings and adores his mother,
To hurt the boy was bearable,
to hurt his mother was unacceptable,
He wanted his siblings and mother to be free,
He murdered his father just before the clock struck 3:00.
He may be in jail, but his family is safe,
This arrest led the officer to a well-deserved raise.
Justice is avenged by the police officer arresting a murderer.
Justice is avenged by the boy who sought out revenge.
