This was inspired by a news article I read that I couldn't get off my mind About a Miami boy killing a six year old girl Tiffany's Song Tiffany's Song When her skull hit the table did she not cry? When her rib broke Did you not hear it snap inside? You pulverized her liver Didn't your stregnth make you quiver? As you towered over her and flogged her. Were there no sounds to fall on deaf parents ears? Her fragile frame and you felt no shame. Did she not cry? Did she not ask God why? As you beat the last breath from deep inside. Her soul fought to stay. As you brutaly took her life away. The defense claims you didn't know what you were doing That you're not to blame and you should feel no shame. When you were two did you not ever have a bruise? or stub your toe as you ran without shoes? Could you have lived twelve years without ever experiencing pain? You didn't stop You didn't call mom Did all of this make you feel strong? As her body fell limp and she did not respond. What did you think? Where were your parents where were hers That this tragic ordeal was allowed to occur? It's not your fault? I think you are wrong! You took away Tiffany's song. |

although i do not agree with your stand point in this work i did think it was very good. and i like "You took away Tiffany's song" it is a nice final line and a nice one in general. |

A very pointedly specific statement of tragedy which is sickeningly too often enacted. Yes, a song strangled almost before it had begun. We who know not this horror ,can only know we cannot know the pain involved. I applaud your ability to bring this to all. A heart-rending, head-shaking aspect of life that too many turn from. Merci |

its amazing what monsters our children have turned into... i think the boy should be held accountable..he had to have known what he was doing.. this is a scary world we live in...  very good write on a very controversial subject.... hugs, g "i was thinkin' if you were lonely maybe we could leave here and no one would know at least not to the point where we would think so..." |
