Pinellas Park's Darkest Days

Sorrow rapes like a predator
Playing with fire
Walk inside my prison
Heaping glass into a million shards
Scrawling, bloodstained jabbing
Abduction with a name
Nobody knows…nobody knows
Having it’s way with you….
Shaking spears of boney fingers
Withering dawn of hopelessness
Comes forth like a grudge
Vaudeville madness scales the coffee shops
Searching for the holiest day
Thrown to the ocean’s, apocalypse  
Festering scratches, budding cheap motels
Sacrament of communion clings to violation
Designer fragrance, is all they smell
Cheap letters stuffed in bottles
The faucet drips…
Drips
Drips
Drips
Inhumane…
Laughing off the
Bedsores of humanity
Like an innocent silhouette
Aging regret, bleeding profusely
Slavery weds infidelity
To one’s own soul
Starving, thirsting, mankind’s salvation
DNA learns everything a country already knows
Passing down “Bursting Tears"
For Terri Shiavo

To step from saving life to allowing death....a serious consideration. To step from allowing death for pity's sake, to causing death for mere convenience....a greater tragedy for us, than for her.

And the anguish intensifies for their family as the 11th Circuit has just now again denied the family a de novo review of the findings of fact in the previous trials.

I pray God's comfort for them at this time. May it comfort them also to know that the hearts of all of us are breaking with theirs.

Terrie has passed on, God willing she will know of the plight for her survival from all who believed she should not be taken from this earth...and God bless those to, that thought she should have....perhaps, something good will come from her loss, but at this particular point in time...perhaps it will be hard to identify.....

Hugs to all of you and yours and many thanks for reading

The hardship of one took many into
the struggle for life at any cost;
I hope, too, that we will someday
have an answer for something that
has put fear into everyone's mind...

all I can say is, thank God I have
my directives in order.
