The Father

poem by: Tony Anderson
Written on Jul 25, 2016

How dare you touch my daughter in that way
You pervert
How dare you treat her in such a manner as this
You SOB

The words of that day ring clear in his head
That awful day he found
That man naked
With his 10 year old daughter

This one who he had once called friend
Being an only child himself
Had even let the kids call him Uncle
Now the real beast had emerged

The rage grew within him
The desire to protect his daughter was strong
He grabbed a metal baseball bat
He started swinging
The creep
The monster
Was dead
Fallen quickly

He was convicted of murder
He pleaded guilty
Though his case for protecting his child was strong
He was still sentenced to life in prison
With no perole

He has no regrets
He would not have changed
His reaction to what he saw
That monster
That creep
Got what he deserved
