Question

Requited Malice

He came with murder foul upon his mind,
His spleen unvented for want of revenge,
Searching with every fiber to find
Who wrought the deeds that did his mind unhinge.

Then he spied the foe he most longed to slay
Standing steady in the street there ahead,
Uncaring for what might transpire this day,
Nor which of them would very soon lay dead.

His quarry did not run, but stood his ground,
As the distance between them grew more near
The seeker wondered where his prey had found
Courage to armor him from normal fear.

The answer was not his to understand
As death came with a bang from a flashing hand.

Worthy as it stands, and you watch a far-apart mixture of movies, eh....
How bout "Alien vs Predator" and "The Lion in Winter"? Love both of those. Troy, Athur, the list is endless.
