Too perfect were the smiles, Too wholesome was the picture, So the devil in his wiles Loosed the demons out of scripture. So Satan from his hell Sent Beelzebub on his way, Doting mother they'd compel, Her own children would be their prey. So evil's dark winged ride Descended with it's curse, With a dose of filicide For the former cancer nurse. Lucifer's blackened heart, Sent from Hades awful gates, So much sin that it would part, All that's good from Paula Yates. Outcast's decision so sardonic, In a twisted cataclysm, Mother's hand guided demonic, To reverse rite of baptism. In a zombie state of mind, Seize five innocent cherub, Ever reason we'll be blind, Drowned her children in a bathtub. Evil settles for losing score, The five, ages under seven, It has Paula evermore, But the children went to heaven. |

Fascinating way of telling the tale. Well done, captivating. And yes, the children went to heaven, surely, for He loves them. |

Oh, chills from this. I'm glad you took the time to write for these poor babies. Very intense writing, scary even. How do these things happen. It just makes me cry. Peace Sandra |

Well you know I think there isn't anyone can touch you for being eloquent, but this is one of those times I wish I didn't have to hear it! It truly was the devil's work alright, and may God embrace those children! Well written Richard, but very, very sad indeed. ~*~ Tell someone you love them today, as tomorrow may never come ~*~ |

In a way I would apologize for the offensive nature of this poem, written in a hasty 20 minutes. However I awoke to see the front page of the Houston Chronicle and there was the smiling and beaming faces of a family of six (Mary apparently not yet born) I was compelled first, to try to comprehend the reason for such a tragedy. I decided that no one on earth will ever be able to explain it in any terms. We are witnessing pure evil here nothing less, and I felt it necessary to call it such. The only way I could deal with it (and apparently too others) was to Hope they are with God. |

I must confess that I only read half your poem this morning and came here tonight to finish it. I am so confused about this terrible tragedy! The poor innocent children! And if the mom suffered from severe enough depression to do this, then she too, deserves my pity. I just don't know what to think..... You've written a wonderful heartfelt poem sir. Thank you.

RSWells, God has these babies in His hands. This all has to be for a reason and we, on earth don't have to know the reason. But my heart is ripped to shreds just thinking of the father, grand parents and other family. We just had another mircale in our family and are expecting another, for us that is what a birth is. All the questions....why didn't the father see the pain the mother was in? Why......why......why.. You wrote from your heart and maybe opened our eyes to the other side of this time on earth. Hugs friend, ME [This message has been edited by Mother_Earth (edited 06-24-2001).] |

RSWells~ I join those who wish this didn't need to be written ... but it does ... and like every other tragic story of child abuse ... it makes the headlines for a short time and then disappears~ EVERY day ... these tragedies occur and like the proverbial ostrich ... we stick our heads in the sand and think they don't happen in our backyards ! They DO ! And our awareness should be heightened when we see these events ... WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE .... but we MUST be AWARE ! We all have an obligation to look for the signs ... and they usually are there ... and take charge of doing something to prevent the perpetrator from harming them. Thank you for this ! Awareness is prevention ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
