I wrote this as a sort of response to one of my atrocity links - a story in which some waste of human skin smothered his baby daughter because she started making noise during a Garth Brooks concert. Four years later, the mother of the little girl that this incident was about got in touch with me, thanking me for putting the newsclipping on here. She then went on to give me a full detailed description of what actually happened in the hopes that I could get the story out there. If you hit the link above, you'll find both the story as I ran across it on Nando.com, and her account of the situation.

A great deal of my ire also came from the horrific story of the teenager that had her baby in a bathroom stall, then tossed it into a trashbin before going back out to continue dancing with her date. Apparently NOBODY had ANY idea that the girl was pregnant.

I hate people.

The fire burns
Inside my soul
Waiting to be free

The anger burns
as I see the girl
muffling her infants screams
drowning it's noise out
so she can watch tv

The baby struggles
trying to breathe
around the pillow
pressed against it's face

A few more moments
and it's done
just another atrocity
in the big city

She doesn't look
at what she's done
she doesn't care
the noise is gone
as she places the still form
of the body in the crib
so that it can be found
by someone else

It's not her fault
she was much too young
to be a mother
anyway, she thinks
and returns to her daily chore
of soaps and reruns
waiting for her life to start

Now she has all the time
in the world
to live
now that the life
of her baby is over

How convenient
how repulsive
her behavior
sickens me beyond belief
to share the world
with beings such as these
makes me weep for humanity
for we are truly doomed
when our young
become an inconvenience
to be dealt with in this manner
