I remember you...






I am haunted
by this image of you
sweet sixteen
and a life to come

And I wonder
Why they chose you
Or why you
Chose
Them

I am haunted
By your smiling face
Knowing
How
You

Died


And knowing
They
Are

Free


I read the words
Unable to comprehend
Yet unable to look away
I weep
For the little girl
You must have
Been


And for the piece
Of humanity
Slaughtered

Leaving us all
barren


How many of you are there?

How many?


Beaten

Bruised

Raped

Burned

Broken



How many?


Yes I am haunted
By the life you didn’t get to live
And the one I am pissing away

Wasting time being afraid
Or stubborn
Or some combination
Useful for making

Excuses


It is a luxury
For those
with something
to lose
For those comfortably
Asleep
But is as taunting
As schoolyard chanting
For those
Aware of the dream


I’ll bet you were smart
In school
I wonder who you
Wanted to be

Who you would

Have

Been

Thank you for the warning, Art. This-----stuff like this is when I could endanger my soul karmically and I would not consider it a sacrifice in any way, shape, or form. Yeah, I could become an equal if not worse animal for something like this..........................

I remember having a discussion about this in some psychology or sociology class. It haunted me for a long time but then you push it down and life just carries on.

I read about this a couple of days ago again ... it has been 20 years yet I still remember how I felt back then ... the way I still feel...

...haunted ....


and wondering how many more like her are out there ... and what I could do about it.
