A view out my window

Out my window came a view most haunting
Two kids running the night
Their wicked laughter trailing
On my floor a rock lay opaque
Sleeping away the stillness that it had broke
It erupted in me a feeling
Of desolation and Armageddon
The aftermath of a crime committed
My window was an empty sun in one corner
A hole where air and light could now enter freely
Just a spider web of cracked debris
Justified without a thread of reason
If it wasn’t a crime it could have been art
I stared at awe at the unexpected chaos
That shattered my dinner
For I was no longer hungry
My mind began to plot
Ideas of vengeance and righteousness
I would get them for this
I’d be ruthless and relentless
The Charles Bronson of my neighborhood
Gangs and thieves would not be safe
Barb wire fences, landmines, and trenches
Danced through my head
I became a Conservative in one blinding moment
My rage wiped away liberal ideals
As I built walls strapped with electricity
Armed my own personal vendetta
A gun fully loaded with buckshot of justice
Their wounds would be a warning to all
For I would descend upon them a most unnerving fury
They would know my name
But out of the darkness
The shadow of my anger
Came a light of clarity
Breaking through the clouds of red
A memory of my younger self
Days forgotten in the gray
Just a kid who laughed
At the destructiveness of life
Throwing rocks through unknown windows
Smiling at their end with delight
Knowing no consequences only action
The devil in me young
Not even a goatee on the beard of me now
Karma came crashing down
I swallowed my pride
And began the process of picking up the pieces
