A PRECIOUS STORY

A SAD TALE OF MURDER

Have you ever made love
to a beautiful woman
under a weeping willow tree
three days later
you find her dead
with a bullet in her head
yeah that’s exactly what i said
you haven’t
well neither have i
but i have seen the innocent die
this story i’m about to tell
is as gruesome as hell
it’s about a little girl who yelled
while she was tortured, and raped
beaten, and stabbed
with her hands, and mouth taped
thrown into the Anacostia river
doesn’t it make your poor heart shiver
it made her mama’s
they prosecuted her father
a kind of unheard justice
somebody had to pay for this
Precious was well loved
unconditionally is what i’m speaking of
i can’t believe how this story turns
her daddy in his cell burns
nobody knows how
the story gets deep now
13 years later
new evidence reveals a cop
arrested while picking up
his next victim at a bus stop
the same officer who investigated this case
if only you could have seen
the smile on his face
when questioned about that little girl
it would have destroyed your world
a sick, and twisted b*****d
who like her daddy
died in his cell after
later her mama said to me
3 people dead
none of this makes sense to me
my precious
my man
that killer
is this for real sir
as the tv, and newspapers cameras flashed
she looked at me and asked
tell my Precious story
tell it well
i cried all night
wrote till i got it right
then cried again
Precious was my best friend
