There is no greater pain then,
to have a loved one taken away.
On that cold winter day.
When you took a life away.
Did you get the riches.
And fill the pockets of your britches.
You took a loving Father.
From his only Daughter.
If it was your mother
Or even your only brother.
Would there life be worth the time.
Did the thought ever cross your mind.
Did you even take the time to think.
Or did you shoot without blinking
Did it make you feel bigger?
As you pulled the trigger.
Watching him standing Tall.
Then watching him FAll.
Now you sit in jail.
Wanting someone to post bail.
You walked down the path,
and left the blood bath.
So now its your turn to pay.
With your life forever and a day.





I had started this poem for a cousin of mine
that was found shot to death a year ago but had
never finished it. I found it while cleaning out
a drawer by my computer. And thought it was
only right to finish it since it was only half
way completed. So here it is.

Sorry to hear about your cousin. Our society has unfortunately
been conditioned to accept violence as a normal thing.
Some people have such bad tempers and are so selfish
that they only care about what they did only when they
get caught and even then they only care about the fact
that they got caught. We have been conditioned to be
selfish, greedy, and to get ahead at any cost.
We need to find our way back to that place that love
and compassion exist. We need to place value on human
life again. Nowadays people do all kinds of shit
to hurt people physically and emotionally because we
have become desensitized. I see here tho on this site
the beginnings of a revolution. I have seen more love
and caring on just say hi than I've seen in real life.

Funny Jim so have I, I've seen more people on this site that are for
real and put there heart out there on the line for all to see. I've also
seen hate and anger but then compassion and sadness. Happiness and
crying,praying for loved ones that are fighting for there lives as well
for those that have lost there battle. All in only a months time. Then
there are those in here that still say there are no real people out
here, its sad if only they would open there eyes just once and see what
I see and fell what I feel just from this site alone.

hits home one of my brothers was shot

Holy cow, this was sad the compassion alone that compelled you to finish it, truly is a dedicated to the person it was meant for....

Thank you girl actually I felt bad after I found it and had not finished it so felt compleled to finish it.

too bad this our world...

If only they would think in that moment...

This hits close to home for me.
