Soulless Creature

As I tried to see an expression of a human soul remain,
I tried with all my might to see an emotion without stains.
But to my absolute horror, I realized this one truth,
This molester of children is still free and I have no proof.

For the acts that he performed against my sister and I,
Were evil incarnate and his actions made us cry.
His eyes were almost lifeless yet, I thought I saw a smirk,
For looking into his eyes was like looking into dirt.

I felt my heart beat rapid as I slowly formed my words,
For my body was tense from anger and my emotions filled with hurt,
This monster now before me with his dead, soulless, eyes,
Didn´t even flinch when I dared to ask him ‘why´?

Why did this creature do this and what motive can there be?
To hurt innocent children, torture them, and then go free?
I´ve observed fewer offences that received a sentence of life,
Yet we stare at this monster still free to children bringing fright.

I knew within my very being this act of harm would not occur again,
Against another child living for I swore an oath to him.
Everywhere this monster goes all will surely know,
He has no conscience left and to hell today he will go.

I released the trigger quicker then I thought I would,
I shot this horrible monster and felt as though I should,
My sister helped me bury him beneath the garden rows,
And now we can all sleep better - for this monster had to go.
