Jodi Arias

Obsessed it seemed with a dream A mind could slip and slither Where passions rage and sin is played Two liars settle their bitters The church the jerk that wouldn't work Made a lie by sinners In the game called real life Where there could never be real winners Crime of passion is biblical fashion You cannot confuse the spirit. I couldn't convict her of the murder Not today or ever But for the lying she needs time For not letting the truth defend her Why they got her and not the other girl Is exactly what's wrong with the system (First time seeing the story today. The other girl that killed her baby Calee. )

Interesting work that you have penned..Enjoyed reading..Thanks for stopping by..My grandmother on my father's side had her hands full when my mother died..She gave me to my adoptive parents..As an adult, I know that was the best situation for me..Sara

I like the stone cold truth of this...church, liars, sinners and the path where extreme deception sometimes leads. I think Jodi is a psychopath and I'm sure some of this was exacerbated by usery. Can or should the victim take any blame? Well nuff said. Great poem :)
