Virginia Killings - We Know Not

Virginia Killings - We Know Not

We know not your name
We know not your height
Nor your weight
Nor your burdens
The things that brand you

We know not the reason
We know not the thoughts
Nor the sorrow
Nor the regret
The things that brand you

We know not who you are
We know not who you want to be
Nor who you could be
Nor who you should be
The things that brand you

To me you are a killer
To her you are a savior
To him you are a bastard
To them you are nothing

Is this why
In the end
They paid
With their lives?

Is this why
In the end
They won't see
Her again?

Is this why
In the end
She is alone
And all she can do is cry

You've killed
Daughters
Sons
Fathers
Mothers
Friends
Grandsons
Granddaughters
Nieces
Nephews
Cousins
Aunts
Uncles
Brothers
Sisters
Lovers

You've hurt
Daughters
Sons
Fathers

Grandsons

You've hurt

<b>Author&#39;s Comments</b>

This is my worst poem I&#39;ve yet to write, but the things that happened today, Monday, April 16, 2007, have really touched and upset me. This beats slicing, so I figured whatever. Comments are disabled b/c I really don&#39;t like this.
