The Saddest Poem Ever. (PG 13)

Link · **Thu Jul 17, 2003 11:23 am The Saddest Poem Ever. (PG 13)**

My name is Sarah

I am but three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can't speak at all

I can't do a wrong

Or else I'm locked up

All the day long.

When I awake I'm all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home

When my mommy does come

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I'll get just

One whipping tonight.

Don't make a sound!

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie's Bar.

I hear him curse

My name he calls

I press myself

Against the wall

I try and hide

From his evil eyes

I'm so afraid now

I'm starting to cry

He finds me weeping

He shouts ugly words,

He says its my fault

That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And I run for the door.

He's already locked it

And I start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken.

"I'm sorry!", I scream

But its now much too late

His face has been twisted

Into unimaginable hate

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

Oh please God, have mercy!

Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door,

While I lay there motionless

Sprawled on the floor

My name is Sarah

And I am but three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me.

Doesnt that just hit you in the heart?

I got that poem on e-mail for like a year ago, and it was as sad then as it is now...

Kyle Reese · **Fri Jul 18, 2003 4:28 am**

(message erased because I didn't make it)

Tech · **Fri Jul 18, 2003 7:13 am**

You like to make people suffer in RPs? Wanna play the Cardassians in U.S.S. Galaxia?

And yeah, that poem sure is sad.

Seven of Nine · **Fri Jul 18, 2003 10:50 am**

To spoil the fun, here are my answers to these questions

1. Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? Because it counts the seconds

3. If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? By consulting other dictionaries

4. If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words? They were in common use at the time...

5. Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack? I dunno... but a whack is a hit

6. Why do "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing? Because slow down is normally called from behind and slow up from in front.

7. Why do "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing? Fat chance means no chance. Slim chance means there is a chance, but it's not very good.

8. Why do 'tug' boats push their barges? They sometimes pull them.

9. Why do we sing "Take me out to the ball game" when we are already there? Because those at ball games are weird

10. Why are they called "stands" when they are made for sitting? You used to stand in them... the seats came later.

11. Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"? I dunno... maybe because it's after the time it got dark?

12. Doesn't 'expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected? Pretty much

13. Why are a 'wise man' and a 'wise guy' opposites? Because in polite conversation you wouldn't call someone a guy

14. Why do 'overlook' and 'oversee' mean opposite things? they're not exact opposites...

15. Why is phonics not spelled the way it sounds? It is in England

(THe ph sound is different to the f sound).

16. If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it? Work isn't terrific.

17. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? On the computer, at bus stops, on steps, laughing at you!

18. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? It helps keep love blind

19. If you are cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? Nope.

20. Why is bra singular and panties plural? Because the English language is peculiar.

21. Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead? Because we're stupid. (or, if they're just running out, it ensures that the signal gets through.)

22. Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase? We do?

23. How come abbreviated is such a long word? Because some words like to be the opposite of what they are (onomatopia comes to mind...)

24. Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? So any accumilated dust can be gotten rid of so it doesn't get on our clean bodies.

25. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? It's normally air tight, and glue requires air to stick.

26. Do cemetery workers prefer the graveyard shift? Probably

27. Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks? Since I don't know who Lipton are, I cannot answer this question.

28. How do a fool and his money GET together? Inheritance, usually.

29. How do you know when it's time to tune your bagpipes? When even you can't stand the noise

30. How is it that a building burns up as it burns down? It really burns up then falls down.

31. If the pen is mightier than the sword, and a picture is worth a thousand words, how dangerous is a fax? VERY dangerous. E-mail's even more dangerous than a fax, though

32. If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? Yes

33. What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men? None.

34. What was the best thing before sliced bread? The wheel.

35. Why do banks charge you a "non-sufficient funds" fee on money they already know you don't have? Because they have to make their money some how...

36. Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines? for the blind passengers in the car.

37. Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections? to stop the doctors picking up infections

38. If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? Because she's plastic.

39. If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest have to drown too? Depends on the situation.

40. In a country of free speech, why are there phone bills? To pay for the maintenance of the lines.

41. How come there aren't B batteries? Because they're extinct.

42. How do "Do not walk on the grass" signs get there? A man in a glider...

43. How do I set my laser printer on stun? you can't.

44. How is it possible to have a civil war? How do you do. I dislike your leader, therefore I'm going to kill you. Are you alright with that?

45. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? See above.

46. Why can't you ask for "perials" in a candy store instead of just "non-perials." I dunno what you're talking about

47. If the #2 pencil is so popular, why is it still #2? We have HB pencils.

48. If you ate pasta and antipasta, would you still be hungry? yes.

49. Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? It was based loosely on the Greek Alphabet, where some wise man decided the order.

50. If I melt dry ice, can I take a bath without getting wet? No, but you could suffocate someone with it.

51. Crime doesn't pay...does that mean that my job is a crime? Depends what you work as (and in my experience, crime does pay.)

52. Did Noah keep his bees in archives? Yup

53. How can there be self-help "groups"? THe groups help you to help yourself.

54. How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign? Don't have many deer here, so I wouldn't know.

55. How do you know honesty is the best policy until you have tried some of the others? It isn't. White lies are often the best way to go

56. How do you throw away a garbage can? Take it to the landfill site

Link · **Fri Jul 18, 2003 11:02 am**

Hey, seven of nine you said this

19. If you are cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? Nope.

It is true
i have dyslexia (seriously) and if i cross my eyes i cant read at all

49. Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? It was based loosely on the Greek Alphabet, where some wise man decided the order.

You are right that it is based on the greek alphabet..

Alpha meant 'first' and so on.Alpha was A

The greeks. ALPHA BETA ALPHABET

I met a person that was kind of her dad. Not as bad but he was yelling at her on the town for nothing. So me and my homies had a discussion with him.

Sure hope it got better for the poor kid.

"Little Neighbor"

She was such a pretty child, as pretty as could be. The blondest hair and bluest eyes, this little girl of three. She lived next door, and I would often see her play outside, Putting all her dollies in a wagon, for a ride. I often thought, how beautiful she would be when she's grown. She was just the cutest thing, as she played there all alone. I only knew her parents, from a passing wave or 'Hi.' They did not want to socialize, each time that I would try. I sometimes heard them arguing, when I was in my yard. I know the problems people have, can sometimes make life hard. I thought they were just loners, because they kept to themselves. They might think I am nosy, if I try to offer help. They never bother anyone, the other neighbors say, And the little girl can only go out back to play. You only see them come and go, they never stay outside. You wonder when they act like that, have they something to hide? One day I heard them arguing, much louder than before. As I looked out, the little girl was standing by her door. Her little face was bruised, and tears were running down her cheek. I wanted to go over there, but I was scared and meek. Finally, when the screaming stopped and everything was calm, I saw the little girl was being held close to her Mom. Her Mother rocked her back and forth, and she was crying too. Just standing in the back yard, there was nothing I could do. There was nothing I could do, would be of any use. This Mother and this little girl, were suffering abuse. She had better call someone, and get this thing resolved, But, it is not my business, and I cannot get involved. As I spoke with neighbors, about what went on next door, They all agreed, that is was sad, it's something we abhor. It's something we must overlook, we cannot interfere. But, now we sing a different tune, as we are gathered here. The neighborhood feels guilty, for we looked the other way, Are we all responsible for being here today? We feel the anger and the shame, because we all stood by, Knowing now, we could have helped, but didn't even try. And, now this little three year old, so beautiful to me, Surrounded by her dollies, just the way she loved to be, Is in a little casket, with her body limp and frail. Her Mom is in intensive care, her Dad is now in jail. The funeral home is quiet, because we all realize, The reason you must get involved, is right before our eyes. Abuse, in any form, is something we must all resent. And, fight with every tool we have, to save our innocent.

"LITTLE NEIGHBOR" � 1998 James A. Kisner.

Dear Mister Jesus

Dear Mr. Jesus,
I just had to write to you
Something really scared me
when I saw it on the news.
A story 'bout a little girl
beaten black and blue
Jesus, thought I'd take this right to you.

Dear Mr. Jesus,
I don't understand
Why they took her mom and dad away
I know that they don't mean to hit
with wild and angry hands
Tell them just how big they are I pray.

Please don't let them hurt your children
We need love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm.

Dear Mr. Jesus,
they say that she may die
Oh I hope the doctors stop the pain
I know that you could save her
and take her up to the sky
So she would never have to hurt again.

Please don't let them hurt your children
We need love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm.

Dear Mr. Jesus,
please tell me what to do
And please don't tell my daddy
But my mommy hits me, too.

Please don't let them hurt your children...
