Analysis of Slaughter by daughter
No begging the judge Not to send her to prison, just tell the truth& let it be his decision. A short time in jail, they set you free, you begged & pleaded to live with me. Into my world you stepped in, we made it easy for you to begin. Your new life, on the right track, Id to to work, then come back. There was nothing you did lack. Then I got the stab in the back. Literally walked in with pants down, you & him made me the clown. Next thing I know my stuff's on the ground, there was no empathy to be found. I'm out on the street, you moved into my seat. My heart has been slaughtered, I lost him, I lost you, I lost my home, I lost everything I have known. My mind is blown, I'm all alone, in total confusion, and I wonder how& why any daughter could do this kind of slaughter. I'm so sorry I had you for a daughter
