Rest in Peace

To Terri Schiavo:


Rest In Peace



You're stuck inside your mind
The only one to hear your cries
No one can see your pain
Your emotion's in disguise

Your wrenching stomach begs
for a morsel of nutrition
Disposing of this burden
seems to be his only mission

Your parents are begging and pleading
Do not take their precious child
Through the highest of the courts
they feel belittled and reviled

Your hunger pangs are worsening
as your body quickly fades
The nation's growing angrier
with their protests and tirades

Although I know it hurts you so
this will soon come to an end
a family forever damaged
hearts unable to amend

I bow my head and pray for you
May all this madness cease
Spread your wings sweet angel
May you forever rest in peace
