Freed at Last

I never heard those babies cry,I never saw, the sadness, that stoleand pricked out their life’s,that stole, burnt, and snuffed outtheir painful plight, Their souls freed,By wanton perverted savagery. No more strangers,No more dangers,No more painful crying in the night,No more lies -That it will be alright, Where voice’s once screamed,Now evidence is now seenDisbelief,For all the world to see, Little unknowns,With no place to call home.Their charred out remains,Evidence you see,Lying, waiting,For us to findand set them free, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Not much of a life,Offered by this sick societyI hang my head shamed,That I am part of this democracy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is in memory of a tragic finding, which has and is still currently being investigated,But reading between the lines, it seems that the truth will never be known,I have included some links, for you to read this tragic case, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2299534/Jersey-care-home-abuse-police-believe-children's-bodies-were-burned.htmlhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/textbased/news/article-1034831/Jersey-home-children-killed-burned.html

OMFG

Man, This hurts. Children should be cherished not abused and murdered. Goes to show no country in the world has a lock on pediphilia, torture and murder. Democracy, Despotism, Socialism, Communism and Religious fanaticism all are capable of this. *sigh* Well done Peter, on a gruesome subject. These things need to be brought out and exposed.

Thanks all

Hi Rett & Richard You'd think that as the years sail by, you couldn't be shocked anymore, But the truth is, there is something more heinous just around the corner, I penned on the spur of the moment, just that momentary thought, Not looking to take any praise, but just felt something should be said, Hi Zarul, By your thoughts, we share a kindred soul, thanks for your thoughts and hopefully we will cross paths again on a more topical subject, Thanks all for reading, Best Regards.....To All.

Hey! Welcome back, my friend! Quite a touching and horrifying subject you wrote about here. I hope the deepest and hottest pits of hell await anyone who harms a child. Good stuff here. ~Jess K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~"Save the trees, wipe your ass with an owl..." ~"The grass may be greener on the other side, but it still needs to be mowed..."

This was not a news report to me.

A friend suicided and burnt his children alive. No one knew. How can you know that this could happen? What do they say? 1000000 deaths on another continent= 10000 deaths in your country= 100 deaths in your town= 1 death close to you. You hit me in the gut with this, and so you should. Jess

Hi Jess

Jess I had been catching bits of this report; it wasn't until I read the full account to the point, where they reported the records had been destroyed, I just flipped, yet again a bloody cover up, It just makes me sick, For kids to quietly disappear over a period of time, without a thought or a concern, by any of the principle staff, Just makes my blood boil, I can understand the abuse, but not the head count, some-one very highly placed made this go away, they should be hung drawn and quartered, (Bastards) Take Care mate Peter ~~~~~~~~~Creativity Is to think more efficiently~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Peter, many years ago a

Hi Peter, many years ago a five-year old boy survived his father's torching while he was sleeping in a motel. The child was in the middle of a bitter divorce custody... Apparently he felt if he couldn't have him, she can't. He had no intention of committing suicide. As a young man, he is a motivational speaker... terribly disfigured, even after countless re-constructive surgeries. As soon as he opens his mouth to speak, you forget his looks and you wonder how it is some people survive and do these kinds of *good* works and others become lost angry hateful people. He was on the Oprah show some time ago, part of guests who survived horrible life circumstances and decided to help transform the consciousness of the public..(Can't find him at the moment on the net and I don't remember his name, unfortunately.) I too have been writing many poems that deal with the *ugly* reality of life, lately. Wouldn't it be a lovely blessing if we had nothing to do but write about the beauty of nature and love? But then again, nature does go a bit crazy too. Love. And thank you, Peter. Anna

Hi Anna - How True

Wouldn’t it just be fantastic But sadly just a dream, life is challenging at the best of times, but all to often we are reminded of the realities of life, I shudder to think what must have been happening behind those walls, Having been brought up by the system, I look back and think how dam lucky i was, Thanks Anna i have missed being here of late, had some personal challenge's of my own, but hopefully will get back to full steam, Take care and very Best Regards Peter ~~~~~~~~~Creativity Is to think more efficiently~~~~~~~~~~

It's always good to see a friend return... I wish you well... I have my own *personal challenges*... Don't we all? Seems as though they should unite us, more often than not, they are the grounds for further division...as if you and i were two people. lol. Hugs, Anna
