Protecter of the city

I'm hidden from sight
the intent is not shown in my eye.

Wandering through the city
the darkness is my home
I need no ones pity,
life is easier on my own
I thrive on the gritty
no mercy have I ever shown.

Taking souls of the greedy,
hypocrites and the unjust
taking from the needy,
abusing others to feed their lusts
preach, but their lives are seedy
abusing others trust.

This is the life that I choose
a champion of the people
I've nothing left to lose,
not quite the Grim Reaper
I ask for no excuse
and yes my methods are illegal,

But hey, who cares.......
