THE SCARLET AVENGER

Phil Roberts 1957 (Melbourne)



The Scarlet Avenger
Hunts those evading justice;
Who need to die.

Those not fit to live
Are the Avenger's chosen,
Chosen just to die.

Seeing a drunked
Beating up two women,
He draws his scarlet blade.

Impaling the drunked
The Avenger helps the two,
Back to their homes.

Back into the night
He's seeking the unworthy,
Meting out justice.

None can escape him
He is much too vigilant,
His range is far-reaching.

The Scarlet Avenger
Hunts the evil ones,
Protecting innocents.
