Poem Artwork

 

The jury came back

To a room that sat

In utter silence as

We waited to hear

The words

 

There was a loud gasp

When it was not what

We thought it would be

Or thought it should be…

 

How can they???

Why did they???

A day later and we

Start to see

That it was not

Beyond a shadow

Of a doubt….

 

Yet sitting in that shadow

We will always see the

Angelic face of a little

Blond angel who

Did not deserve this.

 

That will not stop us

From making our own

Judgments and the

Best way to honor her

Is to not buy into the

Books, movies, DVDs

That will follow;

Do not buy into

The sensationalism

That will not let

The little angel

Rest in peace.

Do not make

The slayer’s life

La Bella vita…

Keep your eyes

Just beyond the shadow.

Living in Europe and not being an American, I don't know the story. Having said that, I totally agree that the sensationalism that follows any case of this ilk (which I am guessing involves a small child and some kind of a monster)should not be pandered to. We should all, as human beings and regardless of race, keep our eyes just beyond the shadow.

A PROFOUND WORK...AND YOU ARE SO RIGHT. LET US LOOK...'BEYOND THE SHADOW'...KNOWING THAT ONLY GOD KNOWS ALL, HE IS THE ULTIMATE JUDGE. AND NOTHING GOES UNPUNISHED EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS, TO OUR WAY OF THINKING, LIKE IT DOES. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
