Murderess

I'm angry and I'm in a great deal of distress. I have learned that my wife is a murderess. We've had four babies, two sons and two daughters. By the time she was through, all four were slaughtered. I didn't know she was killing them, I thought they died of SIDS. I am both shocked and horrified because of what my wife did. I knew that it was murder when we lost baby number four. I couldn't stay with that woman so I walked out the door. It was so hard for me to accept the truth. I would go to the cops but I have no proof. What really angers me is that she shows no remorse. I'm free of her, I'm in the process of getting a divorce. She needs to get help but sadly, she will not. If she remarries and kills another baby, I hope that she gets caught. (This is a fictional poem.)
