Court TV
As I sit here and watch this.
It makes me wonder just why,
these kids and their mommy,
had to be beaten and then die.
A man hits his wife in anger,
then slaps his kids around.
What in the hell is he thinking,
can justice in this be found.
She was very happy with him,
no doubt she loved him so.
He needed large amouts of money,
that's the only reason they know.
He beat her to death early morning.
Then took the life of both kids.
How in the world could he do this?
Now the attorneys put in their bids.
Will he get the death penality?
Or will they just give him life?
Man what senseless violent killing,
why do we live in such strife?
This makes me want to scream,
makes me want to lash out.
One thing that I know for sure,
money is not what it's all about.
He was just a ladies man.
Flirted with anything in a skirt.
She just was not what he wanted.
Now we have to hear all this dirt.
I hope that he is now happy.
He should be very proud.
He is on national television,
and the message is clear and loud.
Hi Renee Listening to the news is so depressing sometimes! How can people do this to other without blinking an eyelid. It sends shivers up my spine. Thanks for sharing :) Roz
Renee' This is very, very, sad but is often the truth. It appears that if a person goes out and and kill a person, "or a couple of people" they automatically become celibs. This is a well written piece. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I love this one-powerful stuff!! Hope that sick puppy gets what he deserves! I have no mercy with wife beaters, especially when they start knocking around the kids! There is NO excuse for that type of action! You did a great job with this one!! NICE writing!!
Renee, girl,you had done it again here, this poem is so sad but its the brutal reality of life, and i agree in everyhing you say in your poem, and i love the way you put it together, and i like the way you express yourself in your poetry in general. Your friend in poetry. Dorian

Doesn't that stuff just make you sick. You did well writing about it. I haven't gotten through all of your poetry yet, but I really like you style of writing. Things rhyme very well and it just seems to flow so nicely. I believe you have submitted poetry to my site before, The Poet's Lounge.(www.thepoetslounge.com) I'm glad to see that the rest of your poetry is just as good as what I read before. Andrea
