    Stolen LIVES

    Stolen LIVES

    Intruding bandits made their entrance,
    Taking what stood in their way,
    Their Greed was forcibly uncontrollable
    and vain, they took and inflicted ruin
    With pain.
    Her impulse was to escape perhaps she could
    Survive, she just wanted to stay alive!

    The path of Bear Claw River
    spins and twines in the Northern Pines.
    Her eyes fixed on the stallions hoofs
    Kicking up the path of Rock mountain,
    She nears the mosaic fountain.

    Dust and wind was in a spin, no comfort
    Soothed her turmoil within. Lost to her
    Sorrow's wail, her flesh becomes cold and
    Pale her countenance image so frail.
    If only she could regain her strength
    She could ease her mournful pain, but
    She was viewed as someone insane.
    Her credibility slain. 

    Nothing more to lose the unbeaten path is
    There to choose, from this point on she removes
    Her shoes. Bare feet in the sand she makes her
    Final stand, her fading heart suddenly stops!
    Her lifeless body drops.

    A woman of means slips from the scene, her slate
    Washed clean, leaving behind a life empty and mean! 
    On this night her bruised and tattered spirit takes
    Flight beyond the heavens light...
    She is free, she is home, her spirit no longer drifts,
    Her essence lifts!

    The battle lost, from the bandit's point of view!
    Are they wrong?  Maybe so, but it is time for her
    To go that was the part that remains that in her
    Loss she reaped the gains, and the end of worldly
    Pains. 

    Justice did not prevail, a tragedy leaves many hearts
    If only this could stop before it starts, the young girl
    Might still be here, breathing the fresh mountain air!
    So young to leave this world she loved so much, to
    Be taken by a bunch of thieves, justice of heaven 
    Will come around and bring an end to their evil deeds,
    It will pass and bring peace to their victim's souls.
    And stop those bandits from their selfish goals.
    They steal a young woman's life, with their
    Old rusted knife...

    Listen well to the bell that tolls, her last moments 
    Were harsh and sad, but angels stand by her side
    And place their hands in hers to guide.
    The evil that men do will come to an end, her shattered
    Spirit will slowly mend. The Good Lord will have his say
    When he turns their souls towards the flaming pit to
    Stay!  Three-fold will come their way!
    The lives they stole, their mortal souls will pay!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
