In memory of Lauren Johansen
A love that gives you black eyes and ignores your cries
Who will be their voice?
It was not a love to die for when the smoke clears, a life vanished a memory of what could have been
Who will avenge the broken?
The price paid for justice that does not exist in this purgatory
How long will the souls of battered women wait?
Give them a pass, just one more excuse, let freedom ring!
There were signs but like so many, blinded by purple haze love.
Tried to leave only to meet an untimely fate
Ladies guard your heart for life flows from it and once you cross that threshold; you may not escape unharmed
God help the gentle souls that have yet to break free
May you find your strength
I quiver with anger, my stomach sick at the depravity
Lifetimes of senseless violence
Who will love women?
God, no way you created such delicate flowers to be trampled
A mother’s gift; a Father’s world
I pray that ladies and men would understand the meaning of love
You deserve a love that makes you bloom and blossom
Allow time to give us all wisdom
Be the love you need
A hand to hold, alive and free.
If you see the signs in someone that you know, reach out and see if you can help. May we all find peace. Blessings to you all!
