Enough Is Enough ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 Blonde curly hair and a quick little smile. She may not be yours, but she's SOMEBODY'S child. Quick as a bunny. Fast on little feet. He might not be yours, but SOMEBODY thinks he's sweet. Standing there grinning from ear to ear. They might not be yours ... but to GOD they are dear. They are GOD'S children, and you'd better beware ... if you, so much as, harm one hair on their head. If you harm a child or cease their breath, I promise you ... you'll be sentenced to DEATH. Sentenced to death. Swiftly carried out. Not even a chance that you'll win this bout. Not years of appeals dragged out in court as before. One trial ... one conviction ... that's it. Then YOU live no more. Sixty days, start - to - finish is the waiting time you'll get. No time to wonder if you can beat the system yet. Abuse a child and I promise you. Hell won't be half as hard as what we'll do to you. Harm a child, even once, and you won't see another day. Hell will have to wait 'til we're finished making you pay. In the pits with Satan you will dwell ... if you harm a child you're going QUICKLY to Hell. Heard enough? Well, if you agree, send this to your senator, your representative, your congressman, and a copy to me. *This is dedicated to our ~Hoot~ and the caregivers of abused children. Thank you, Ruth ... for encouraging me to post it. *~Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Wow! Applauding here!! You betcha I'll print this out...this is powerful stuff. Anyone who mistreats a child in this way deserves even more than you describe! Well done. |

Thanks, Sally - From the response when I sent it to my other friends ... they all felt the same way as we do. We all need to get LOUD and DEMAND that the laws change. If all our voices are raised, I believe we CAN make a difference. And in the meantime ... we all need to pray for the children. ~*Marge*~ < !signature--> ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 12-16-1999).] |
