The day I found out about him....
I just about died
Hearing the vile things he'd done
Seeing her mother cry....
Crying for the daughter she would never again see
Because of him....
He who was friends with her mother
He who tore her from her home....
And took her to her death
Knowing that he may have hurt me
Or even knowing that little girl could have been me
I can taste the bile rise up in my throat....
And I smell things I haven't smelt in ages....
Him that helped steal the life of an innocent little girl
A little girl who didn't deserve such a fate

This poem is dedicated to the memory of Jetseta. A young girl whose life was viciously torn from her for the mere reason that she to testify against her kidnapper and killer! I love you Jetseta, may you rest in peace!
