Free Cee Murmerings of Murder

MURMURINGS OF MURDER Helga’s was a house with no humor And a room with a well known rumor The house was built on a gush of guilt And the room within hid a bloody quilt People spoke of her house in a hush And a rumor that made young girls blush Hhelga's friend Hal had hands hardened by steel Hardened hands that made horror real Hal’s pals tried to reason with him Including and most importantly, Tim Tim told Hal to leave Hal’s gal alone But Hal beat Helga body and bone That house became hurtful and the rumor real Yet no one knew how that made Helga feel Trips to the doctor with black and blue bruises But if she remained silent only she loses Hal deserved to lose in a very big way And then came that most horrible day It was upon that quilt that Helga lay When Hal killed Helga in the month of May That house has been leveled by a wrecking ball Erasing the day when death came to call An empty lot is the reminder of a rumor Whispers that remind others of a house with no humor How do we process a young girl crying? How do we accept a young girl dieing? Well now Hal does those things extremely well From the inside of Hal’s very small cell © 2012…..PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
