Out Of Reach Poem by Nell Sheridan

Out of Reach

This beautiful sandy beach beneath a pristine flowing sky,
A place of love and laughter now the community asks why? ,
A young woman lost this place has undergone a dramatic change,
No one was there for her any help just outside of her range,

There is blood upon the sand as women gather and rally,
She is another victim to the years total overall tally,
59 are lost so far as societyignores the simplest fact,
When will society learn thattalks cheap andthat they must act,

There's a killer walking loose within our picturesque community
Someone is holding their silencedenying the needed accountability,
He is walking slowly eyes scanning his potential next victims,
The detectives with hands tied by our failing justice systems.

Someone knows him and what he did on that beach,
Someone can place this demon within the laws reach
We will forgive your hesitation to assist due to your anxiety,
Tell us who he is and your can remain safe with anonymity.

Who took her life the blood of innocence still on his hands,
Who deserves to burn for carrying out these atrocious plans,
Who walks freely among us while a mother grieves,
Who callously, decidedlyignored her desperate pleas,

Perhaps you have no conscience perhaps you simply don't care,
Whatever did transpire I assure you that God was standingthere,
Yes God saw every moment as the light left her eyes,
Yes God is your witness and will cut you down to size,

He watched your actions and everything you did withinthe wake,
He will leave none standing of those that chose to partake,
When those steel gates close upon the mystery sociopath,
Those other inmates will unleashall of hell'sunspent wrath,

So wish him luck on theinside as he will need it to survive,
So rest now but know that the police will eventually arrive,
Know that you will receive the same amount of empathy you gave,
Know that your soul is not one that anyone would willingly save,
