The deck seems stacked against my favor <br />Leaving me only death to savor <br />The world has been a most cruel place <br />Stealing loved ones with an unfeeling grace <br /> <br />In 1998 something bad stirred <br />The death of Jaret Adelman occured <br />Marita Ann Lackners's car hit him hard <br />Leaving me emotionally scarred <br />The hatred for her shall forever last <br />Until death takes her fast. <br /> <br />Before that when I was three <br />My parents were filled with glee <br />With a new baby to look at and see <br />Only this baby had a fatal cree <br />Not a cry came from her head <br />The child was born dead. <br /> <br />Again in 2001 <br />Just for fun <br />The sea swallowed Gene <br />Never again to be seen <br />Lost in the blue <br />The grip of reality rang true <br /> <br />These are the reasons I write about pain <br />Or dying on this unholy plane <br />The deck seems stacked against my favor <br />Leaving me only death to savor<br /><br />Matthew Hyatt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-series-of-unfortunate-events/
