A Murder That Tainted Paradise Poem by Andrea Totaro

A Murder That Tainted Paradise



On Christmas Eve 1991,
In Hilo, Hawaii,
A beautiful 23-year-old blonde
Named Dana Marie Ireland
Was savagely attacked
And died the next morning
After being hospitalized-
Tainting Paradise which
Will remain that way
Until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I first heard about Dana Ireland's murder on 'Sins & Secrets: Hilo' after I purchased that show from iTunes on my Apple computer.
