He Took Away Their Mommy

he took away their mommy
and left them alone in their life
left babiez without a mother
he murdered his own wife
he took away their mommy
with his own fatherly hands
her life gently sifting away
like golden hour glass sands

her children cry their tears
knowing she won't take them to school tomorrow
and are too left without a father
he ended her life, corbarde, a coward
she won't be here for the moment we take for granted
like holidays or trips to the mall
she won't be here to celebrate birthdays
or to catch them if they should fall

a madre id left daughterless
full of devastation andleft to mourn
to live without her mija
whose been her favorite baby since she was born
a mother's heart once fearful
'cuz her baby's whereabouts was unknown
now has to raise her grand babies
'cuz her mamaz isn't coming home

her friends lean on eachother
as we all gather close to mourn
to remember Tisha as she was
our lives in shambles, our souls torn
we all stand with great sadness in our hearts
trillions of tears dropping upon her grave
missing her wide vivacious smile
& the cheerfulness she gave

he killed a breathtaking beauty
ripped the sun from the sky
murdered the soul of an entire family
stole the diamond from our eyez
he took away an only daughter
whose children cry until they can't see
and all we feel for him is hate
'cuz he took away their mommy

DESCANSO EN PAZ
