A Flourish of Hate

My brother and I sat down and wrote a poem together. This is what we ended up with. Any thoughts?
What do you think we are referring to?

As I stepped out of the ruins,
I saw one of their kin;
A monster,
A murderer,
Who had, and will continue to, take many
Innocent lives.

He raised his arm, whose hand
Held a rifle,
But with a push and shove
I threw it aside
As my rage took over
And I went to the Beyond.

Rage aside,
I had only one task
Ahead of me.
As one last
Flourish of hate
Swept through me,
I picked up a rifle from a dead soldier
And shot him
Straight through his cold-blooded
Heart.

My task,
Now completed.
