My brother murdered <br />And the newspaper called me <br />And asked me what I had to say <br />And I said “no comment” - <br />And they printed in the paper <br />His sister was contacted <br />About her brothers murder <br />And she said “no comment.” <br /> <br />But I had plenty to say <br />I just couldn’t say it then <br />Not so soon <br />After someone killed him. <br />I couldn’t tell you then <br />How this pain was so unreal <br />How I didn’t know how to comfort <br />My mom <br />And how I didn’t know if she ever <br />Would stop crying - <br />And how hard it is to stay strong <br />For your mother <br />Who lost her son <br />Or how hard it was to stay strong <br />For my other three brothers <br />Two younger than me <br />One who witnessed his murder - <br />And since I was only 20 years old <br />I couldn’t tell you how much <br />My little brother meant to me <br />The words couldn’t come out <br />With a lump in my throat <br />And I said “no comment” <br />But that isn’t what I meant.<br /><br />Connie Webb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-brother-murdered/
