 ~The 11th Commandment~
~11th Commandment~














*AGM*

I sit here alone reading the news
Another Child taken
Nowhere to be found

My Child was taken too
I feel your pain
Not stolen, but the same
Fighting for his life
Terrorized
Battered
But He was found
Soon
I didn't have to go
through the waiting
To be told
Joey is DEAD

Someone saw
Someone heard
Someone knows
Someone could have saved Him

But didn't

I hate them

Those that didn't stop it
Those that let my Child DIE
Broken
In Terror
To be thrown in a filthy canal
To be found
By a Stranger

I hate them

There were Commandments written
On how we are supposed to live
On what is right and wrong

I think one was left out

The 11th should have been written
But its too late now
For Joey
For Carlie for CJ
For Angelene
For Jessica
For Cole Bailey Jr.
For all the DEAD Children

But it may not be too late for your Child
Your neighbors Child
Any Child

11th Commandment
WATCH over all Children
As you would have everyone
WATCH over yours.
