a lost boy asked a
stranger for help; was kidnapped,
killed and dismembered
an innocent life
snatched by evil hands ; let this
child be remembered
his will is now read
‘vultures’ stand round his coffin ...
pennies from heaven

Great sorrow felt.
That judgement thou dealt.
Selfish and blinded.
Unbridled.
Nature divided.
Absolutely required.
Discarded as folly.
Parried as play.
Honor and pride.
Mother beholden.
fatherless husband
loins aching for progeny
empty wombs await seeding
childless mothers cry
opening soft pocket sighs
stoking the steel thorns rising

Ghastly Grave Gathering
Gran and grandpa are gone
Giving grandchildren gifts
Generations greedy
Guilty, grabbing for gain
Granted gratis gold goods
Girls grovel gracelessly
Gluttonous grandkids grief
November 2016
He brings a companion
imagined.
Shouts this clear:
"The day is yours."
The Harbinger waves
Smiles
What do the faux prophets say?
Whispering.
We were talking.
Days were aging
and settling;
birds resting.
We were at rest.
Daddy's piano plays my sadness
The funeral of a feeling
with a funny uncle at the mass
The windows feel the breeze
it's 6 pm in the afternoon, in Lisbon
The sun hides in a purple dusky sky
We feel formal but weak
We feel the missing of a heart
an innocent child,
a nineteen-month-old baby,
was senselessly shot;
cold drive-by shooter
killed a cherished little boy--
with a heartless plot
endless tears of pain--
as we remember the love
of this lifeless tot
*baby was not the intended target
Remember me...
In years to come when you are old
laugh at my stories that are retold.
To our children, sat upon your knee
Once or twice
Remember me....
When the world is full of fun
at the setting of the sun.
In our love nest that we
once shared.
Remember me....

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
My soul has gone and the ground will keep my body till is called upon.
From heaven above to the ground below.
You stand here with your weeping eyes wondering if my soul will live or die.
As you stand at my grave please DO NOT CRY.
Candle in the wind,a memory,a prayer,silent words are spoken,now our loved ones are not there..we will always remember,the good times we had,always great and fun memories,the good and the bad..meet again one day,up in the sky,its always an hello,never a final goodbye..
His dear wife Daisy, wheelchair-bound
Had a sis who thought him lazy
Perhaps she's glad he's in the ground
For now he's pushing Daisy

You never got to draw your first breath
It was taking from you by death
You were your mothers pride and joy
Like a child with a shiny new toy
Why you were taken from us we do not know
We can not see you where you go
These things just seem to happen with some
We will see you both in kingdom come
Thank you
Think of me, but do not weep, I have no pain.
Dwell not for long my friends, as none of us can stay.
Your time on earth is precious, so enjoy every living day.
For my friends who really liked me, I sincerely thank you all.
But to my family who truly loved me, I thank you most of all.
By Tina Mitchell
Don't take the person that is dearly to me.
You've taken to many people that are dearest to me
You are the angel of death
You bring unhappiness in my life and other people around you
You don't care if the deserve to die
You mad people dpress and you make them do something stupid
Your the grim reaper
The angel of death
This was originally a song...now most of the words are lost in time...

You were
Always
So ALIVE
It hurts
So bad
To have to see you die
I watch them
Put you into the ground
We all stare in suspense,
Quiet, no sound
I set
Black roses
On your stone
Now I stand
Alone
I LOVE YOU
If I die tomorrow I really would not mind
I say this because I have lived my time
and I thank God for every moment we share
even if we argued I still knew you cared
so when I leave this earth
and they burry me in the cold lonely dirt
I will ask god watch out for you
as I will always do
-ADALYN DIAZ-
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be
So he wrapped his arms around you
And whispered "come to me"
You didn't deserve what you went through
So he gave eternal rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping
so peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again
Today we buried my angel
In her Sunday dress
Eyes and hearts fell
She now lies in Earth's caress
Her stolen tomorrow
Sprouts wings of glory
We celebrate without sorrow
A short yet beautiful life story
She heard the Heavens call
Bravely accepting the request
"Death makes angels of us all"
The words of her last breath
Today we buried my angel
In the bosom of the land
A smile lights the chapel
She now holds her mother's hand
Oh how I wish I could go back,
To heal the pain inside my heart;
To say goodbye before it was too late,
To see you smile at me once more;
To heal the pain inside my heart,
To hear your laughter fill the air,
To see you smile at me once more;
What I wouldn’t give to just go back,
To hear your laughter fill the air,
To say goodbye before it was too late,
What I wouldn’t give to just go back;
Oh how I wish I could go back.
~For Paula's Back to Bacl Contest~
Another generation
Wiped off the face of the earth
With its untold stories
Buried secrets
Unreachable depths
Irretrievable treasures
Souls from the past
Shrouded in grey clouds
Dissipating in the distance
Gone in a gust of wind
