Oklahoma Black Sky
She was a freckled faced child who
dreamed of being loved...
He was nothing but a heartless bastard who hated
everyone, especially us.
She was the protector of her sisters and
stood up to him as tears rolled down her
angel face...
His day of reckoning came one sweltering
Oklahoma summer in July...
She entered the house to the cries of her
mother, begging for him to stop..
The angel child had suddenly become the
protector of her mom..
She grabbed his belt which lay nearby and
swung with all she had...
Blood streamed down the side of his
face and down the front of his shirt...
The only cries now were from him and no longer
from her mother....
I love you, mom...
Your loving daughter,
Sharky
