one last request

As she holds her crying baby tightly to her chest

 

the tears of dispair run down her face as she begs for one last request

 

"take me dear God and spare my child" she speaks out loud

 

face turned to the sky as she talked to the clouds

 

and with sudden jerk and twitch the babe went silent

 

the woman lost her mind and became violent

 

she renounced her faith and burned the bible next to her bed

 

took out the loaded pistol and planted one bullet in her head

 

one last request left ungranted

 

two bodies in the ground are planted

Heart wrenching and sad.
