How Many Lives by DaKiara
How many lives will be plucked
Until someone begins to give a phuck
How many fathers left broken
Seems like we are the only ones joking
Heeing and Hawing as another child is slain
Outraged by all of the pain
Preventative measures we must take
Instead of reacting once the dam breaks
Blood is spilled
Mothers are being killed
It is a full on assault
Let them feel the wrath
They ultimately brought
I’m not one to inflict pain
Senseless killings is to blame
I believe in peace
But what happens when my family
Is left to pick up the pieces

DaKiara’s writing journey began years ago when she was a child herself. She used it to escape the world, and she used it as a voice for others. Her passion for writing was sparked even more from participating in oratorical competitions in church conventions which her God Mother encouraged her to do. When she and her husband lost 2 of their children at early ages it was hard for DaKiara to deal with the pain so she went back to what she knew and that was writing to ease her pain. Writing she realized was her therapy and she realized that it could benefit others too. Far too often people think they are okay and they don’t need to talk about their pain, she lets everyone know they aren’t alone. As a tribute to her children, her pen name is a combination of her two Angels.
