ATV's and unloved children

I don't know if y'all have seen this story about the nine year old child who was racing across the highway with his brother when he was hit by a car and killed. They have considered prosecuting the woman who hit him! HE was doing something ILLEGAL and just plain stupid. His parents obviously did not care about where he was or what he was doing. This woman already has to carry the guilt of having hit and killed a child. It was not her fault.

The town where I live is full, (no exaggeration) of yahoos who ride ATV's out in the road. From the 14 year old boy whose Mama thinks he would never be up to no good to the immature, tobacco chewing men in their 40s who race up and down the road. It's dangerous. It's foolhardy. These people need to stop. They are endangering their own lives and the consciences of others.

Parents, please know what your children are doing this Summer! They are, after all, just children!

FREE RAMOS AND COMPEAN!!!

I don't know if you have heard about this disgrace, but I have. And I want for others to join me in praying for these men and signing the petition to bring justice for them. This is so unfair. It is totally wicked. Please read the following poem, written by me, and then click the link for the whole story.

Twelve years is such a long time,
enough to see your boy become a man,
or build a thousand dreams with your wife.
It's quite a chunk from an already short life.

Two men languish in prison cells,
mistreated, hated in that horrible place,
law protectors at the mercy of lawless men.
What they suffer, we cannot comprehend!

Their crime is that they did their job,
they shot a dangerous criminal man,
a drug lord who tried to take their lives.
For protecting us, they're paying a terrible price!

Think of Mrs. Ramos and Mrs. Compean,
alone, torn from the men they so love,
suffering long days and nights alone.
Twelve years before their men can come home.

These women are left to try,
to support their homes in every way,
to bear their lot, with heads held high.
Staying strong, yet even I have to cry.

Now, to you who have made this so,
I have something to say, right to you,
You will answer, believe me, you'll pay!
In this life or the next, I know you will someday!

And I don't know why our country
won't open its eyes.
And I don't know how these men
can be locked away!
Uncle Sam, what have you become?!
You take away from the rich to feed the dumb?
Lawbreakers don't pay. But the protectors
of our homes, they won't get away!
