Toxic State

Lack of justice for the murdered Leaves the plague of a toxic state. Souls left living engulfed in pain. No closure, no open door to forgiveness. Crying pleas for answers, stuck in horror. Living hell for the victims left behind. Unable to escape without truth, Acknowledgement, accountability. Bring them peace, bring them justice. Free them from the bind of a toxic state. Heidi Sands 12/3/16 *Placed 5th in Contest: Toxic State

Heidi, well said indeed. So true, so lifelike or even 'larger-than-life' as I have a hard time really conceiving of it. Yes, what a bind for those left behind - how can there really be "justice"? Only way I see is to turn the clock back and make it never happen.

True Doug, if only for those the clock could be turned back. Thank you for your comment :)
