I wrote this thinking of her, she had that certian thing that caught my eye. And in a since you could exagerate by saying I fell in love. But while I was writing I saw a video with Warren Jeffs and the LDS Church and Gislane became just one woman, when in that church men and women out number her by thousands. And while she sits in jail Her crime continues in the name of a cult. My piece just tell her story.
Glain was her name
with secrets hidden by gods
Hidden in pronounciation
the way and what she was
Trapped from the beginning
a tool that greed would use
The vengence crime commited
to the daughters of the accused
Kept within the filty rich
the treasures of flesh and being
Princesses now in favor
virgins in the eyes of the seeing
Pleasing becomes an occupation
no matter who you are
form sweeping the floor to closing the door
we all play certian part
A true crime story was what became
when only certian girls would suit.
I stoped there. After the video.... I was going to use her name or part of it, the "his" in Ghislane. and the his became "His". Needles to say that's God's
As time passes by, people pass through
In all walks of life and ways of behaving
Most are congenial, but I’ve noticed a few
Who, apparently, have an inane craving
For causing a ruckus whenever they can
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why
They enjoy riling, and getting out of hand
But, I am thankful they’re in short supply.
Their type explain why we always have war
[Oh, on a much smaller scale, to be sure]
These people who have a burr up their a***
And want to spread around their manure.
They seem invested in getting their way
Always expressing a different point of view
Being confrontive and oppositional, I’d say,
It appears they have nothing better to do.
I appreciate many diverse ways of thinking
Knowing my opinion isn’t always the best,
But when I discover my attitude is stinking
I try to back off, giving the situation a rest.

These are scientific names of common animals.
There are scientific names for plants, insects, flowers, fruits, vegetables...
List is endless
My full sympathies to all children who have to memorize them!
My lively head is not majestic
My pronounciation is not perfect
My body is not profound
And to this my mind is not much around
Im not crazed
Even with harsh words
Standing still i remain unfazed
Respect I give not
For Ive long forgotten such word as love and pride
These people here that hate violence
Are themselves violent
They want and need
As im irriated with there false attempts at logic
Please stop
Let the ones that want real common since fine what they strive for
