taking advantage
Authority taken, not given
No right to do so.
Persons doing harm,
Pretending to help.

What do we do with such persons
When we've given them power;
Do we decide to punish
Or look the other way?

Some people worship them,
Others are in disbelief,
Some walk in terror;
Believing they'll be next.

Vigilantes
