He was just walking to school in the snow Why did he have to walk down the alley And did the mother know she would never even see the boy Ever again? Not even the body was found... It has been almost six years They found a suspect They found human bones No trace of the 10 year old boy who would be a freshman now They found lists of names, boys names... Mental records all the way from the east coast Today I opened the paper That fat man in the news took him from the alley That man killed him Most likely raped him Good God knows what else Then killed him Chopped him up and fed him to other people How do you tell the mother that "I'm sorry miss. Your son was Christmas pot-pie"
Reason for writing:
This honestly happened here. Feb. 1996 a little boy disappeared and they had the suspect and evidently, it was this man. I can't even fathom what this boy's mother is going through.
