    1st DAY IN MAY

    "2 SISTERS KIDNAPPED---BOTH WERE FOUND DEAD"
    WAS THE HEADLINE IN THE PAPER I READ
    INSTANTLY IMAGES FLASH IN MY HEAD
    OF 2 LITTLE SISTERS KIDNAPPED--FOUND DEAD
    THERE PARENTS HAD DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT THEY GUARDED THERE YOUNG ONES ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT
    NOW LEFT WITH NOTHING BUT SORROW AND PAIN
    BECAUSE OF SOME SICK AND TORMENTED BRAIN
    WHY THEM? WHY US? THE PARENTS LAMENT
    SUFFERING SUCH PAIN AND BRUTAL TORMENT
    THIS CREATURE WHO DRESSES IN HUMAN DISGUISE
    HEARS NOT THERE WORDS,THERE SCREAMS OR THERE CRIES
    HE"LL ADMIT VERY LITTLE AND TELL MOSTLY LIES
    BUT THE ANSWERED ARE BURIED SO DEEP IN HIS EYES
    THEN PROUD WHAT HE'S DONE HE DESCRIBES IN DETAIL
    THE DEATH OF THESE CHILDREN SO YOUNG AND SO FRAIL
    HE CARES NOT A BIT FOR THE ONES HE LEFT DEAD
    AND SAYS THAT THERE'S DAEMONS INSIDE OF HIS HEAD
    THE DOCTORS WILL TRY TO GET HIM TO SAY
    WHY HE DID WHAT HE DID ON THAT FIRST DAY IN MAY
    HE HAS NO INTENTIONS OF TELLING THEM WHY
    AGAIN "DAEMONS' .... HIS ONLY REPLY
    THEY'LL BRING HIM TO TRIAL AND CALL HIM INSANE
    THAT LAW WILL PROTECT HIM FROM CAUSING SUCH PAIN
    THEY'LL ASK HIM TO STAND AND THE JURY AGREE
    I KNOW WHAT ID DO IF THAT FATHER WERE ME
    I'D CALL FOR THE DEVIL AND MY SOUL I WOULD SELL
    FOR A TIME TO MEET WITH THIS CREATURE IN HELL
    HIS SENTENCE WILL BE A SLAP ON THE HAND
    THE JUDGE IS UPHOLDING THE LAW OF THE LAND
    IN YEARS AND SOME MONTHS THEY'LL MEASURE HIS FATE
    SOON AFTER THAT THEY'LL OPEN THE GATE
    WE'LL ALL WONDER WHY AS THE LAW SETS HIM FREE
    "HE'S CURED" ",NOT DANGEROUS" THE ANSWERS WILL BE
    ITS TIME TO WAKE UP OLE' U.S.OF A.
    AND SEE THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING EACH DAY
    WE'RE STARTLED,WE'RE SHOCKED AND OH VERY SAD
    WE ASK ONE ANOTHER IF THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD
    I WONDER MYSELF HOW BAD HAS IT GOT
    WHEN THESE "DAEMONS" HAVE RIGHTS AND OUR CHILDREN HAVE NOT
    THESE 2 LITTLE FACES I STILL SEE IN MY HEAD
    AND ALSO THAT HEADLINE IN THE PAPER THAT READ
    2 SISTERS KIDNAPPED-- BOTH WERE FOUND DEAD

    This should be published where everyone in America could read it. Very good write........it gave me goosebumps, seriously!! I wrote a poem once about a little girl that was brutally murdered in my home town. Writing is such a good oulet for otherwise pentup feelings and thoughts. Keep writing!!

    THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT... IT COMES AT A TIME MOST NEEDED

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
