my three year old died in my arms
her daddy had molested her and left
my first reaction was screaming for her
no smile, forever it has been put to rest
I heard the police say they were looking
I wondered who it was they were seeking
it was almost time for my husband to return
time for our dinner, best not let it burn
I went toward the stove and reality kicked in
a shame that the reality turned me insane
I turned for the bed room, grabbed his gun
went driving to all his places under the sun
determined was I to find the son of a bitch
when I looked over and saw his truck in a ditch
I braked and jumped out as I heard him shout
save me, it's going to go up in flames, get me out
I smiled and stood back, what a cheap thrill
could not wait for destiny to take the kill
I shot the gas tank and it went up in smoke
that's when my sanity was no longer broke

The law of karma is perfect!

This is one of the deepest and most shocking stories I have heard. How could one do this to any child, or any human being. I am with the people below, but I think I might have gone a bit further and saved him, and then made him suffer. Such a write that hit really hard at the heart. The title really does speak about the poem in a very big way. Personally, I don't think I could cope with something like that, but I sure could cope with the revenge.

SO DEEPLY TOUCHING!!!
Our Lord teaches about not ever taking revenge but there comes a time when one must make the choice to end the person life so they won't do it again or save it so they can go on doing it again and again.
