Winter in the heart.

David Wakeling

There were frozen water droplets on the leaves this morning,
The air was cold as ice and it was hard to take a breath,
There were no noises from birds anywhere at dawning,
Only the slow trembling of my fingers sparring with death.

The people dare not talk, terrified of conversation,
They keep warmer by pretending to enjoy shopping,
I heard on the my phone that they found 3 year old Caylee Anthony,
We all know her mother Casey suffocated her
Wrapped her in black plastic and threw her in the woods.
But Casey went free because of insufficient evidence at the time.

We all know that John Ramsey killed Jon Bennet
And tied her up in the cellar.
But he went free because of incompetent police,

We also know that O.J. Simpson murdered his wife
Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman.
But O.J went free due to insufficient evidence.

The heart is going through Winter now,
The innocent are dead and the guilty are finding it hard to breathe,
Their fingers are trembling sparring with death.
