Poem for murder victims
Vancouver Sun

A poem read as families lit candles outside the courthouse following Monday’s verdict.
Nobody Sees Her
She’s sitting huddled in the corner of the building
Shivering in the cold
Nobody sees her
She’s standing on the street shivering in the rain
Nobody sees her
She’s sitting in the back of a greasy cafe
Hunched over a cup of coffee
Nobody sees her
She’s waiting for a john to pick her up
Nobody sees her
She’s sitting on a filthy floor covered with used
Points, garbage and empty beer bottles
Nobody sees her.
She’s lying on the cold hard ground that some
John has dumped her on
Nobody sees her
She’s puking as she slaps and prods her veins so the rig
Can give her that moment of feeling good
Nobody sees her
She’s just a junkie people say;
She’s nothing
Nobody sees her
She’s a missing, forgotten and lost girl
Nobody sees her
But today, everybody sees her
She is found in an unmarked hole in the ground

Did I see you on CBC?
Finally, resolution. And that they’re going ahead with the second set of charges just thrills and shocks me!
I can’t believe Wayne Leng came back; he hasn’t been in the country since before Willy was arrested, from what I heard!
An historic day, and you should be very, very proud of your part in bringing it about and making it public.
Raincoaster I am so thrilled, I am so pleased with the jury and the judge and the fortitude of the families and friends.
You know I woke up today thinking one day, I wanna take Bill Hiscox and Wayne Leng out for beers, or coffee or whatever the hell they like to drink. Those guys? Are my heroes!
I know there’s a lot of talk about the second trial not going through… Oh its going to happen! I’ve been listening to folks say well know at least the families can find closure with this trial. WTF? Families of six out of a possible sixty? Is that good enough? I don’t think so.
Quote:
Oppal said the “public interest” will determine whether Pickton will face trial on those charges.

Um its in the public interest to hunt down and incarcerate Picktons “friends” We all know he didn’t act alone. I know I will never sleep well again, until I am confident his buds are rounded up and tried in a court of law.
Ah well enough from me at the moment,
Thanks Raincoaster for your comments, as you can tell I’m brimming over with emo.
