A young man is sentenced To die for a crime But to die a tranquil death Along with doing time Why is it we let him die? With such a peaceful tone? He hurt the one that he killed Yet mercy he is shown This world doesn't make sense I’m not sure I understand Why we make it easy For the criminals at hand I know God is the final judge He'll take care of this for sure Sometimes it makes my heart bleed Just living in this world I cry for the little girl Whom this man did harm Also for the mother She needs God’s loving arm I get down on my knees And pray for my hatefulness 'Dear Lord, please help me Remember my faithfulness' 'To find forgiveness For the man she trusted Please help us lord I feel disgusted' 'It's not our judgement You hold it all Please Lord be with them Our judgement's so small' Cpalmer July 10, 2001 God is our inspiration; Words of the heart can be music to our ears |

I agree that there is much beyond our understanding. And I certainly have no answers here...wishing you peace tho.  |

Yes, forgiving is a very hard thing to do...but like you said, let God do the judging. Very nice poem. Jeremy |

Nice poem, there is a lot we don't understand. Just keep trusting in God and let Him take care of everything. |

it makes me so mad i could spit..this sounds like a child molestation..and that makes my skin crawl....  if something like that happened to my child, they'd have to jail ME so I wouldnt kill the devil who touched her! sorry..this is written very well..and good of you to kneel and pray for forgiveness for your anger.. i have to live by the phrase, "everything happens for a reason"..we dont always know the reasons, but just to know there was one...makes it a little easier for me...i'll ask the questions one day..one day when we can see all the innocent ones again.. hugs, g "If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend." -Stone Temple Pilots [This message has been edited by dgvarner (edited 07-10-2001).] |

nicely written and a topic that is hard to talk about without getting emotional... why let them off easy... I have often thought that.. perhaps an eye for an eye is more my way of thinking. |

Cindi~ 'Sometimes it makes my heart bleed Just living in this world' I'm sure many of us share this feeling ... I'm not one to sympathize with the perpetrators of such horrendous crime~ Let their heads fall~ God can have their souls ... to do with as He sees fit ! Well-penned struggle with your feelings, my friend. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Serenity, I agree there is so much we dont understand with our justice system, but we just have to trust God in this case...Thanks for reading Cindi White Dragon I do my best to let God do the judging in all parts of life, but when you hear something like this on the news...it makes you wonder! Thanks for reading Cindi Kirkster, I am doing my best...You always seem to help me with that...thanks for you lyl Cindi Dgvarner, I dont want to make your skin crawl anymore but this poem was on a case that happened here and I heard the verdict last night on the news...A man set his 2 yr old daughter on fire and let her die....That's why I dont understand why he should get to just "go to sleep"...God will be the judge...Thanks for reading Cindi Cpat There are some cases when I definately agree, an eye for an eye....this is one of them, but then we have to remember that we are not the judges of anyone elses fate....

Marge, Thank you...It is sometimes really hard to see certain things happen in this world...that's usually when I turn to writing...I call it my confessions on paper...I do believe that God takes care of all and will help this too...thanks for reading..
