 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


 this Saturday
48 Hours is doing,
A national airing
of a popular Program,
There well be a show on Yanci
Murdered as he sat at traffic light
Yanci was coming home from work
A car pulled up beside him
Knowing Yanci if their eyes met
He could have smiled and waved
He loved people and hiking
I have met him
Down playing this somewhat
He was at family functions
I didn't't know him personally
have talked with him on hiking
At my nephews wedding
Yanci was best man
He had two best friends
My nephew and his ever with him Dog
A week or so earlier the boys
Avid hikers and climbers
I believe it was a Mt Rainier climb
Sitting taking pictures of the view
Does it get any better than this
Friends from childhood
You can watch the show
It could happen to anyone
Someone you know
My nephew was asked to be part of the show
He won't even watch the show it hurts too much
You see
When I write the poems about Staci
Staci is my nephews sister
Two innocent members of his family killed for no reason
You often hear me about drugs
Both of these killing had much to do with drug usage
Someone well say to me he is recovered off drugs
No longer is he or she addicted
I don't give a hoot about recovery it does not bring back the victim
In Staci's case the suicidal idiot was also killed
At some point the bleeding hearts well have this monster
Up for parole Yanci has no parole
