THE VIGILANTE
A peaceful man, calm was he with a smile so bright,
Until they took his wife then his daughter’s life.
His world was turned inside out, nothing will be the same,
His name is known within the business world, the nights are his.
A man who did have a family, now he takes the lives of them who take,
His life is much different now, days of a regular citizen, nights of vengeance.
He now lives within himself, with the pain he inflicts upon the evil that brings pain,
He is the vigilante, a good man who had enough of bad people in a crazy world.

Growing up in Montana, its history finds vigilante activity during a couple of periods in the gold fields and later on the open range. Somewhere, I see Charles Bronson in one of his vigilante films (Death Wish series).
You are correct, I thought about death wish.

Love this, Keith! I can picture him out there, busting up scumbags at night while maintaining his professional persona by day with his tongue in his cheek. Haha. Great post!
Thanks for reading.
