my heart...

hangs low.

i hear the news on the radio...and it seems on a weekly basis another child dies at the hands of their parent. for no reason. none.

recently; a woman gets put away for killing her children, and claims she hears voices in her head to do it. insanity plea. she gets put away in a psyche ward.

the most recent story was a father put a pillow over his child's face, because the baby was crying...the child suffocated and died.

i ask...how? why?

these are children. babies. who have done nothing wrong. who did not ask for existence. who are now just trying to exist. to live. no one said that children are easy.

as i mourn for the children, anger fills...against those who would commit such an act.

justice? there is none. you took an innocent life. innocent in every sense of the word. for these people there should be no trial. no excuse. just take them out back and put a bullet in the back of their head. there is no reason for what they have done. and now they get to live, because of some insanity plea...they get a fighting chance...what about their children? did they get one? do they get a voice? nope. however you do...how is that possible?

i can't find any compassion for them. none.

our system is weak.
