Poetic Justice

Retribution

In the shadows of night, justice stirs,

A balance to be restored.

For the crimes that have been committed,

A reckoning will be scored.

Retribution, its name so cold,

But its purpose is clear and true.

To punish the wicked, to make them pay,

For the harm they've caused to you.

Like a pendulum swinging back and forth,

Retribution brings its due.

It weighs the sins of the guilty,

And exacts its price anew.

Some fear retribution,

While others seek it out.

But one thing is for certain,

It cannot be ignored.

For justice must be served,

And the wicked must be brought to heel.

Retribution is the hand of fate,

That ensures that all will feel.

So beware, those who would do wrong,

For retribution is at your door.

Its price is swift and its justice sure,

And it will forevermore.
