A Failure Of The Courts Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

Let me get this right.
You were a rich girl dating my friend.
And one night in your infinite wisdom decided to take him for the ride of his life while drunk.
Going 89 in a 35.
A sharp turn coming up.
Slamming on the breaks but its to late.
Damn tree split Pontiac G6 in two and killed him instantly.
Battered bruised but okay, hiring a damn good lawyer.
Beating all the charges but two.
A plee agreement where you only half too serve 21 months, and the rest of 7 year vehicular homicide charge on probation and just a month for the dui to be concurrent.
I feel so damn violated by the system when I can go to jail for a longer stent for growing a plant, or having an ounce of pot on me.
I would have been satisfied with full term, with possibility of parole after 5.
If it was me, I would plead guilty to the entire term.
Accepting responsibility for your actions.
You stole him from me.
Your 38, you should have known better.
I hope he haunts you for the rest of you life.
I hope it's long and you suffer.
I hope to never hear your name again.
You lied and it brings nothing but more pain.
You said you weren't drunk, and you weren't going over 50.
Funny how the facts come to light two years later.
A court system so slow it's running joke.
I'll always remember you Blake.
