Dorothy is notoriously late
Because she wants to make an entrance?
Heck no.
Relatives lie to her and tell her things start an hour earlier
So she will be almost on time, and she still gets there late.
Smirking inside to herself.
Dorothy is not trying for attention
She does not like people even if they are related
Maybe especially if they are related
She only shows up to dissuade Diamond, her obnoxious sister
If she did not show, Diamond might come to her home to get her.
Heavens to bits that would happen!
Diamond works for the Health department.
She might blow the whistle on Dorothy’s comfortable hoarder house nest.
Worse, she might take away her six dogs and twenty-nine hundred cats.
Dorothy sighs, knowing she had better show.
2 by 4, murder was written on the door
Her blood was spilled on the floor
Jesus I can not read any more
These stories can no longer be ignored
There should be tighter laws
Too many victims heading to the cemetery floor
Abuse should not be accepted or Ignored
Woman of sorrow
Time to break your silence
Blow the whistle on the cane
Don't stay silent and harbor the pain
Loose the chain and remove the stain
Tell yourself, you are created to gain
In this life chose to break free from the chain
Learn to live and aim
You can conqueror the cane
You can overcome the pain
You will not die or go insane
Your life will not be in vain
Now stand up and reveal his or her name.
sean hoare,
the first journalist to blow the whistle on
andy coulson at News of the World
for being fully of aware of the
phone hacking which was going on at the time
was found
dead
yesterday morning.
i wonder if the cops who found him
are the same that worked under the former
commissioner of the metropolitan police only
a couple of days ago,
prior to his resignation.
nahhhhhhhh,
it’s just a coinkydink.
