Vengeance

King Kong is not untender,
not merely a mean beast
Of feelings he can render
a bit of love at least

The Hulk is likewise angry
and holds some things inside
But often he is right
to don his greener hide

Batman’s always seething
He wears a frightful frown
It’s not clear if he’s stewing
or just a little down

Monster, man, or animal,
the vengeance gene shows forth,
in sharp and brutal violence,
its mettle and its worth
