A Letter From The Boy

A tribute to George Stinny Jr

Dear Mother & Father, 

I sincerely apologise for the abrupt goodbye 
I am in deep remorse for my innocence 
And I am just a boy who cared for you 

But my caring attitude only gave you jeopardy 

The homicide of none 
Still the execution is to be done 
I live no more to see another day 
No ignominy, no me nor you 
I just wanted to say "I am sorry" 
Though my sound is silent 

I wrote this letter before the time 
You acknowledge that I am writing 
And reading it with a gloomy rivery eye 
Judge not my fragile hand who wrote it 
But conversing in regret between the line 
My only regret is to be your late son 
A dilapidated case for everyone 

As the holy book gave me strength 
Which became my only strength 
The heart I once beat with emotions 
I know not if I could became a honest man 
Only time would tell me 
But time has slipped away from my hand 
Worry not for I am just a leap away from paradise 

Time to tell its bitter farewell 
Even though I am too small and paranoid 
I am sitting in that life leaching chair 
As they concealed my little face 
My tiny soul clustered into space

Oh my God what a horror for the kid and his family to endure.
Thank you for highlighting this Terrence and for doing so with dignity and reverence and compassion. Your a good heart Terrence. Well penned. Very well penned.

Thank you soo much Anto for your kind and gentle review. I was doing some research when I came across this topic. I was extremely in pain when I saw this plus the photo that I saw left me in complete ruins. I could not continue for a while and wrote for him in the highest honour. He has struck sadness in my aching heart. So let's not forget him but make him the my brother that has passed.

wow - your words here moved me even more than your original writing. Thats an honourable thing indeed. Fair play to you T.
I just looked the boy's case up too. It is a devastating miscarriage of justice.

[Terrence Chang]

I am completely agree with you. It is the darkest hour of justice in the human history. An irresponsible lawyer and the ignorant judge. Will lead to death of an innocent child. It is a chills that shiver down my spine without any recognition for that sleeping child. I don't know how you are feeling but I am completely shaken and disturbed

The movie carolina skeletons. Just tore me apart

I've seen to many miscarriages of justice here in Ireland and I fear I am desensitised somewhat to thoughts of what the 'law' and judiciary and justice departments are truly capable of but yes, Im still affected, for the boy and the girls - who wouldnt be?
