Frankie Haley Frankie Haley, Where did you go? I only saw you the other day Why did your mind have to explode? Now you’ve left and gone away Frankie Haley, What did you do? You’ve killed you mother, brother, and sister too I guess you felt you had nothing to lose Since they treated you so damn rude Frankie Haley, Remember When? We jumped on top of that fire engine Or when the crowd gathered round To see our drawing on the ground Frankie Haley, I should have known Long ago when you moaned About the world and your life And all you ever talked about was your strife Frankie Haley, I could have helped All you had to do was tell But you kept it all inside And then got taken for a ride Frankie Haley, Where did you go? I only saw you the other day Why did your mind have to explode? Now you’ve left and gone away Frankie Haley, What did you do? You’ve killed your mother, brother, and sister too I guess you felt you had nothing to lose Since they treated you so damn rude Frankie Haley, why oh why? Did you never say goodbye Gone without even a word They say you’re a killer but that’s absurd |

I really like this post....is Frankie Haley a known killer or just an idea? Anyhow it's really good. Salooma "Not all the answers lie within your realm or mine, they lie within the borders." |

Thought-provoking poem LenMcC1. Such a sad tale on society when we cannot help those who desperately need assistance from their tortured minds; sadder yet, that we cannot often identify those in need until it is too late ... you've pointed that out well in your poem LenMcC1. Best wishes, /Kit |

Well I guess I had to reply to this one. Sorry to hear about cousin Frankie, some just don't know how to live in the world. Great poem, though very sad, especially seeing my name in it....  James Haley |
