LILLIAN SAID Poems

Some people get one second chance; we got two
Some people get one last goodbye; we’ve had a few
Some people’s connecting lines are straight; ours were skew
Some love many times, but I loved once when I loved you
...

Locked up in your treasure chest
Lies the egg warm and safe in its nest
Not interested in a trail, tribulation or a test
The playing fields will now know no contest
...

Don't let them take your smile Mommy,
The smile you showed me I too had
Don’t let them take the smile Mommy,
The smile you wore even when you were sad
...

Can you stand on a stage,
Freed from your cage,
Stripped from the rage,
Yet still enthused enough to turn a new page?
...

Broken, misused
Afraid and confused
Still my life is richly with purpose infused
...

Give the boy a gun,
Let him have some fun
Expect someone dead by the setting of the sun
...

After the beating and the rape
Why is the intruder still protected by all that red tape?

After the damage had been done
...
