True story. For A.J., 1989-2011. TWENTY TWO YEARS OLD. RIP. :(

Poem Artwork

He said that he would change.
He said.  And what did it get you?
Except dead:  shot multiple times

in front of your two year old son.
Love shouldn't take a daughter
away from her mother:  murdered

in cold blood.  So what does
Daddy do?  Takes the chicken's
way out:  pills.  Grabs his boy,

gets into the truck, wrecks it when
he passes out behind the wheel
---- a thousand wonders that little

one wasn't hurt.  Daddy lingers in
a coma, until this past Monday ---
What does the baby remember???

His grandparents are now raising
him as their own.  They've forgiven
the Daddy --- better people than I.

Don't understand why you went
back to him, believed his lies ---
and late at night, a baby screams.

(c) 2011, Karla Dorman (7/17)

It is a tragedy too often repeated

Karla, the tragedy you write of has become an all too familiar scenario in today's world of morbid, Draconian players out of step with love, logic and peace. You reached out and gave the chain of events just as they coldly play out in real life. I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

KARLA ...

LIKE ALL OTHER 'FRUIT-CAKES' -
I'LL BET THERE IS A HISTORY
THAT 'SOMEONE' KNEW ABOUT,
BUT DID NOTHING TO STOP!

LOTS OF 'LOONIES' WALKIN' AROUND EVERYWHERE TODAY ... TK.

Wow- you grabbed it right by the throat in this one, and left it open for us all to experience the hurt and anger. Excellent, Karla!

I just don't understand it. Such a shame. Two young lives ended way too soon, just because the father was selfish and controlling. His wife didn't deserve that at all; happens far too much in today's society. I know I would have to be forgiving but I don't think I could do it if this happened to me. Such a tough thing to have to face; my heart breaks for her parents and especially her little baby boy! Powerfully penned sadness; A and her parents and brother are definitely in my prayers/thoughts; they are going to need them and all the support they can possibly get during these difficult days, weeks, months, years that will surely be ahead of them!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( +Tears!+
