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. more on www.jaymarensworld.wordpress.com
