Double murder & suicide.

true account of a system breakdown.

Desperate people take desperate measures
when weighing  the pros & cons.
Murdering a man in cold blood.
He never thought you would.

Pregnant with child,
fleeing the country fast.
Delaying with lawyers & court
You thought it would last & last.

Lawyers & courts battle
You won your short term freedom.
Now you can spend a little time
with you baby & other children.

But however the system failed
when they helped you live like a bird.
With selfish, unstable mind
You did the very worse you could.

You murdered your baby in cold blood.
You wouldn't give him up.
You knew you were going to be locked up.
So you drowned him out of love.

If you couldn't have him
then no one would
is what your mind did say.
Now you're both gone away.
Tears are left to stay.

This is something that is happening way way too often. It's not only sad, but devastating to society. The innocent victims die without ever being allowed to live life. Lisa

Ouch. Interesting perspective. I couldn't have done it though. It is a debatable topic/issue...but I hope to never know what it feels like to be in those shoes either. However, the prose from your pen is good. Made me think :)

Thanks,
Teresa Emilie
