For my uncle Chad now in jail
Mckaylee Grange

the wedding today...
there were lots of people there
the kids played on the playground
it was all fun and games. . .
till things went wrong.

we all went to the house
the fun had ended. . .
the police came
took him away,
for breaking probation...
again
Chad.

after he left he called.
told his newly wed wife,
Meli he was part of
KKK.
said he didn’t love her
“i only married you for one reason
“to hide i was racist to not get in trouble”
again.

He lost the best thing
to ever happen to him.
well what can we do?
nothing now.
he’s been sent away. . .
this time.
been sent to texas.
I wish he would learn
but i know he wont
this isn’t the first time he’s been
sent away. . .
