the league’s leading scorer
reaches for the puck
vulnerable
blasted to the face
~
concussion, stitches
injured
before the playoffs
~
an opponent’s choice
endangering careers
playoff chances
~
no penalty called
no league suspension
( no respect ? )
~
self righteous intentions
standing up for a brother
spiralling out of control
~
vigilante justice
with sickening consequences
~
cue
the violence
violins
~
everyone loses

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”
