Killing my Ol’ Man

My Ol’ Man is a vile excuse for a human being! Every day I am confronted with and disgusted by his lack of care and love for his own wife and children, and I think it is time for him to die. You think me harsh or cruel? You ask me how dare I suggest such a thing? You have no idea what we have been put through because of his selfish, destructive, coarse, and abusive lifestyle. His callous disregard of the welfare of those who depend on him has been a constant grinding-away of our souls, especially for me. I have come to hate him. I have seen him hurt his wife and children – but it is ME he has hurt most. It is ME he has abused most. It is ME he has embarrassed and discredited most.
I want him dead. I have tried to kill him before and failed, but I will try again and again until I see the life drained from his mocking eyes. I will exult in his death! I will rejoice in it and will not have remorse. Murder, you say? HE is the murderer! HE is guilty! I know him like you never will, and he deserves nothing but death. I will not rest until the old wreck lies dead at my feet!
Wait. Wait! There is one who he has hurt more than I! Yes, perhaps I must defer to my friend to whom the Old Man did utter devastation. My hatred for the Old Man blinded me to the horrid things he does to my gentle and innocent friend. Ah, then! I will let my friend deliver the fatal blow! I will stand and watch as the blade pierces the Old Man’s heart, putting an end to the torture this man has brought to us both!
Yah’shua Christ, my friend, kill the hateful Old Man within me! Tear out his heart of stone, and create a new man that loves you!
