Question: We had a tragic event in the town next to use where we shop, work, go to the doctor!. How about the poem!?
A husband went into the home and shot and killed his ex wife, mother-in-law and shot his father-in-law in the face!. A restraining order had been filed but was not processed yet!. I do not know these people but I feel their pain!.

WHY DADDY

The little Dixie cup
She held so close to her
Like it was made of gold
That day was such a blur!.

Her hair was like spun gold
Her brothers were the same
The baby crying in the house
Now the fireman and police came!.

Oh Daddy, Daddy has a gun
No Daddy don't be mad today
Put down the gun and let's talk
Let's her what you have to say!.

Mam maw and Pap paw are here
Don't hurt us Daddy please
Momma said you would not
She said it was time to leave!.

OK we will go to our room
But Daddy please go away
We don't want anything to go wrong
Don't make this day a bad day!.

Daddy why are you sending us out
You don't want us any more
The policeman said for us to come
Said for us to go out the front door!.

We do love you Daddy, we do
Don't hurt anyone today please
Daddy I beg, and I beg you today
I beg you and I get on my knees

I am outside the house now
they say safe and sound
But why don't I feel that way
Who are all these people all around!.

OH NO! OH NO what's that noise
Yes Daddy did have a gun
I'm crying so hard I am shaking inside
I guess my Daddy is all done!.

Papaw comes out with blood on his face
Oh no what an awful site
Did my Daddy do that to my own Pap Paw
I cried with all my might!.

No noise, no sound is baby alright
I am so very scared today
They send in a robot to check things out
Let's go get the baby, they say!.

A woman I do not know at all
Runs into the house alone
Here she comes with my sister so tight
Out of our family home!.

But what's inside, please let me know
Is my Momma and Daddy OK
What about my dear Mam maw
This is an awfully bad day!.

All is now quite, almost sickening
The noise is not anymore
As the bullet proof clad policeman
Slowly opened the door!.

Take the children away please
Said the the chief of police
We need to get our the bodies
And all the names released

OH I am so sick now
I have lost so much today
My Mam maw, my Momma, my Daddy
In a pool of blood they all lay!.

Daddy why did you do it!?
Why were you so mean!?
Daddy didn't you know we loved you!?
Now just look at this scene!

Daddy I have lost everything
All because of you
How will I ever go on like this
I hate you, I hate you, I do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
