She Rests In Peace

A true story about a girl who passed away in 2006. Her murderers were executed 2 days ago. This poem is dedicated to her. I request you to please remember this innocent little soul in your prayers. Thank you.

Tied to the window sill
Staring out the window
Thinking about her life
Death
Why would these thoughts go through
A 9 year old girl's head?
Her body beaten and bruised
Her left hand broken
Kerosene on her face
Burnt legs
Tortured since a long time
She's weak and thirsty
Hunger pangs muddled up with the pain
All this done by the one person who should have protected her
Her father.

He wanted to get rid of her simply because
Of suspicions that she wasn't his lawful daughter
Snatched her from her mother
Gained custody
He remarried
Continued playing the role of jailer and executioner to please his wife
Torturing this helpless soul
An innocent child who couldn't fight back

Her biological mother intervened
But had no support
The justice system had died
While she was trying to survive each and every day
Praying she would get her daughter back

The little girl finally gave up
The daily brutal torture killed her
Her murderers were sentenced to death
But what about the mother
Who lost her one and only baby to these savages?
What is she going through?
None of us will know

The Gates of Heaven open
Embracing the little girl
Finally she rests in peace
In the arms of an angel
