The Un-Accused Guilty
A murder has been committed today. Well multiple really. Many women have been killed
and what’s sadder is that their killer will never be punished. He will never even be accused or
suspected. He will walk free. He will live.
Many women have been killed today; a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a cousin,
a neighbor, a friend,an enemy, an acquaintance, a woman. A murder has been committed
and there’s no provision for justice.
A woman has been killed today. The whisperers say it was from natural causes. They say it was
her heart, that she had a disease. How could it be? Her heart was filled with such good things. She
had dreams and hopes. But I know the killer. I see him clearly and I know that he knows it. But he
will walk free. He will live.
A wife has been killed today. The doctors say it was a heart attack. Another ridiculous
assumption. That just doesn’t add up. Her heart would never attack her, how could it? If ever it
would attack, it would be him. It would be her killer. But he will walk free, he will live.
A mother has been killed. Her kids don’t understand it. They can’t understand it. They’ve
been told it was from natural causes; her heart had a disease so it attacked her, it failed her. But that
doesn’t make sense. Her heart was never hostile, it always gave love. She was mum. But they should
have been looking more intently. Then they would have seen her killer. But he will walk free, he will live.
I have been killed today. I do understand it. My heart wasn’t diseased, but it failed. It
couldn’t go on anymore. What was diseased was everything else. It was the innocence he stole from
my babies night after night and my weakness to stop him. It was the depravity in our home. It was
the numerous women and sometimes men that defiled our marriage bed over and over. It was the
heart break; this was not what I signed up for when I said I do. I have been killed today, but he will
walk free. He will live.
