I'm sad today,
America -

I'm so tired 
and
weary -

Angered
by 
the tragic
news
that 
Sandra Coke,
of Oakland,
has gone
missing -

Another life
hangs in 
the balance -

While some 
mentally 
disturbed,
and 
sick 
individual
may have
caused
this 
to happen -

The people
of her
community,
has worked
tirelessly 
in there search -

They also
passed out
photo flyers 
everywhere -

Vigil candles
burn
with hope
and
prayer
that she
is found
in good health -

On the day
that
Sandra,
disappeared,
she 
received
a call,

to meet
with 
someone
about the
family's
missing dog,

she left 
home
to investigate
the call

but,
never 
came back
home -

I'm sad today
I'm so tired
and
weary -

Amber alerts!
Human trafficking!
when will it
end -

Now
Sandra Coke,
of Oakland,
has gone 
missing -

Lord
I pray
that she 
is unharmed -

even though 
police say,

that they
have found
her car in
one place,

and
her cell phone
in another -

I hold out
on faith,
that she'll
return home
safe -

I'm sad today -
