~The Answer WAS "NO"!~
DEDICATED TO MADISON SCOTT! This is for ALL THE LOST LIVES in Canada since my journey in discovering them all, after the fight I was also already so busy trying to survive! May this give us all some peace, closure and justice with the sound our voices and these words can give, that if I hadn't lived to write would otherwise have not been achieved! SO SAY IT LOUD and SAY IT PROUD, TOGETHER, EVERYWHERE, SAY IT WITH ME, SAY IT SO....THE ANSWER 'IS' NO! Amen!

Feb 3/26
The Answer Was “No!”
There’s nothing wrong with Love
Between a girl and a boy,
This is not a kind of love
I should have ever been denied,
Even from the young age of 5!
Fighting for my life
Just the right to love,
Should have never been the point
Of the quiz,
To all that there is!
From the state of view
Of someone so young,
How do you shed any light
On her point of view
In words,
Regarding all the memories
Of her witness
That no one else could see?
Clearly God IS REAL
Because of the difference of
The Monster,
‘Mammon’
And him,
That little girl
Couldn’t ever escape
No matter how many doors
Or homes she ran from,
It was a certain testimony
Of the only story
She’d ever be able to tell,
How can she separate herself
From hell?
That manipulation
All the coercion,
Oh yes
And those
7 Deadly SINS…
None of it
Was invited In!
The Soul of the Girl
And the heart
She carried too,
It was her own!
A fascination
In which
That Devil,
Could not
Eat his way through!
He could not dispel
The proof,
That LOVE IS REAL
And can’t be Lived without,
It’s not an option…
The child DID Shout
And with ‘my God’,
Shall my heart and soul remain!
And on and on and on
The years did pass,
As he would crouch
All about,
NO PAUSE
From HIS CAUSE
As she grew,
Saying
“Well then know it’s true,
That Everything Else
I WILL TAKE
From You!”
And so it’s true
Everywhere she went,
Every place
She laid her head…
No safety or comfort
Could be found!
No boy, No girl
No normal Love,
Did she ever find
In all the years she searched,
Writing stories and songs
Holding onto the hope,
Of True Love & Romance!
Over 50 yrs has now past
And as I lie here reflecting
On, that time…
The history I’ve never written about,
No right words could ever be laid
By pen to describe!
I’m only NOW
Able to share
A PORTION,
Of my early childhood nightmares
The graphics do not need to be shed,
I don’t need to re-live through
All the ‘NO’S
That I’ve said!
But it’s The Story Of My Life,
Not just a time or two…
There is No Excuse
For a little girl to live through
The story I never came to earth,
To Tell!
I’m only trying to say
That my message
Is simple for today,
Being able to write
About what still happens
To girls/Women/children everyday,
For voices from the graves
My words NOW SAVE…
Comes with lots of confusion
Despair and grief,
For the Devil true to his words
Could not STOP my life,
I’m STILL ALIVE
My Body IS HERE
And I am NOW…
Where the strength came from
To get me from the beginning,
To this end…
Is ALL ABOUT
The Heart and Soul
Inside that 5 yr old,
Whose faith and relationship
With her True God,
Simply Endured…
She told the Devil
‘Mammon’
Then,
What he could Win!
And today he’s witnessed
My lifetime witness
That it’s true,
He CAN’T DESTROY
The Man Maker…
He can’t STOP
Jehovah’s LOVE,
It’s a gift
Only he can give
So no matter what I’ve lost
From head to toe,
Or East to West
As I went from
Place to place
Trying to find my own home…
The Perfect Boy/Man
Who coming into my path
Could whisk me off my feet,
And rescue me into his arms
Well…
Somehow
I still managed to wake up
Day by Day, Get out of bed
Remain clear of all the victims
A part of Mammon’s Bloodshed,
Angels
Watching Over Me,
Was the only answer on how
I did not become
One of the numbers,
To those statistics!
So…
There is much to be said
About the value
Of just ONE SOUL,
To The God
Who ALWAYS remained WITH me,
His thoughts, my thoughts
His care,
As it shines down on me
Even in the distance,
Of those times
And how far I’ve come
Fighting off the Evil,
Like a Joan of Ark
Set in his armor,
From head to toe
That Spell…
Could never
Be broken,
THIS LOVE
IS…
THIS LOVE IS
What Spared MY LIFE!
So it’s understandable
Why I’m filled with,
All this Empty
Confusion;
Every single child
Every young adult,
Every ONE THAT’S DIED
DESERVES THEIR LIFE BACK!
And so I write
Share what I can,
Waiting for times End
To All of Our Stories,
And what will come to be?
Aerosmith words come to mind…
Janie’s Got a Gun
Her Whole Worlds
Come Undone,
What is she supposed to do
What did he put you through?
The Evil is so Insane
It plagues the brain,
Drives you insane
No rain,
Can STOP the Pain,
The tears have stained her face…
Where is there to run
No Safe House,
No Place
ABOVE the LAW,
To Avoid the WRATH
Of it all,
She can’t get an I.O.U.
For all that she’s been
Thru;
Because ‘nobody believes me
The Devil man IS SLEAZY’,
If it was only so easy
As to put a bullet in his brain,
But as time has already
Shown us…
There’s always another one
Around the corner,
To send someone down
A similar path,
To the one
I look back on
As I get THIS PART,
Of that journey
Finally written down;
About how little
Anyone ever cared
Nobody ever arrested,
No one went to jail
No-one sentenced to death
Where’s that electric chair,
Or how about castration
YUP,
ANY of THOSE
WOULD DO!
But at the end of this all
There’s only one thing
That can be said,
Don’t give up on living…
Fight for your right
To BE ALIVE,
LIKE I DID!
Stay out of rocking chairs
And hospitals too,
Take him down
With your faith
In God,
Pick up the bible
Read its words,
Pray to the Man Maker
And when he hears you,
Trust in his reply
Follow his guidance,
You will get to the next place
The right one,
For your journey!
Say it again and again
If you have to,
My friend
Say it…
The ANSWER IS ‘NO’
Shout it Out
On the Streets,
From rooftops
If you have too,
The ANSWER IS ‘NO’
But don’t let Anyone take
Your LOVE,
Your Heart and Soul
There is Always
Someone out there,
Somewhere
Someone to care,
So FIGHT
To find EACH OTHER;
This reward
Is the Greatest one
Of All!
For when you reach
Those arms,
And you can rest
From your run
You will have ‘WON’
And Broken the Spell…
Like the one I remember
From the beginning of
my Journey,
Of My 5 yr olds
Hell!
To not be a submissive
To not be a slave,
To not be sorry
For what ‘YOU’
Don’t understand
Devil man…
I don’t owe you any apologies
Or any explanations,
I was BORN FREE
In 1975
And in THIS MODERN DAY
IS WHERE I WILL RESIDE,
Until my dying day
I WILL CELEBRATE,
My Rights
My Choices,
And the GOD I CHOOSE
To Follow and testify of Knowing,
But I don’t make
Your beds,
Or feed you food
And clean your homes,
Take Care of every need
Of everyone under that roof
For Free,
(Indeed that’s not for the likes of me!)
As if it’s my only purpose?
I’m not a help mate
I’m a HUMAN,
BEING….
A WOMAN
One Looking to Be LOVED
By a Man;
Someone who knows
To respect me,
And treat me as
His equal,
We help support
And encourage
Each others work,
Dreams
And aspirations!
So I may be sad
About the damage done
And the time lost,
But the Power
GAINED
From the knowledge
EARNED,
Has given ME a Life
That you can ONLY
Understand and Enjoy,
If you’ve DONE
THE WORK,
To Get There…
So ENJOY IT!
Now LET IT BE HEARD
For ALL of OUR VOICES,
From both sides of the veil
Around the Deaths,
That THIS IS WHAT I’LL DO
Leaving behind
ALL THREATS from YOU,
‘SINNER’ Man!
Love is the Key
And there’s NO FEAR IN THIS
Only a door to other paths,
Where GREAT is YOUR LIFE
To which it CAN EXPAND…
Because of Knowing
WHOSE LEAD
TO FOLLOW!
‘No Pain, No Gain’,
There’s Nothing Left
To Explain.
So I end in Prayer
Amen for ALL,
And that I too will find
What I deserve
Like I hope, for all of you,
As the World turns
And life continues on…
As we wait for all the answers
From God to come!
Oh,
And if I should get
That Valentine & Mistletoe Kiss
One Day,
I’ll be sure to write
Another story of
That times Glory,
For when all that waiting
Finally comes thru…
When I CAN SAY ‘YES’,
“YES, YES, YES, YES…
Because,
I WANT IT TOO! 🙂
So Sinner Man
Let it be Heard,
ON THIS DAY
LOUD AND CLEAR.
My Final Thought
And message true,
IS
SIMPLY…
That the ANSWER WAS
‘NO’!
To You!
The End!
