From Your Son, MJ
Mama, don't sit on that 'Pity-Pot,'
Try to be grateful for all you've got!
I know you well, as I'm your child...
Your feelings swing from hot to mild.
I watch you smile, I see you cry,
But Mama, I didn't mean to die!
I know your life has gotten worse--
It's almost like you've been cursed
Ever since that awful day
I couldn't help but go away.
When you cry, I'm always there,
Kissing every single tear.
And when you smile, I'm there with you,
Cuz when you're happy, I am too!
I know your thoughts and feelings well--
Most days, you feel you've been through hell...
A parent's worst nightmare, this is true,
But Mama, I'm ALWAYS there with you!
I know you've felt me by your side
Ever since my body died.
But I'm there, Mama! This you know!
The physical me just had to go...
Spiritually, we will always be
Together for eternity!
Mama, you're still my number one girl...
I'm with you on that evil world,
Every minute, every day,
Making sure that you're O.K.
I know you've suffered more loss and pain,
It seems to happen again and again...
But when it does, I tenderly mend
Your heart and make it gentle again.
See, Mama! I AM always there!
I love you Mama--I'll always care...
Don't sit on that pity-pot;
Be grateful for everything you've got!
I never meant to hurt you, Mom...
When the nights are soft and warm,
Watch my sunflowers and my trees
As they gently sway in the summer breeze--
Whenever you see the brightest star,
It's one of my gifts for you from afar.
When a butterfly flitters by...
When you see rainbows in the sky...
When you hear my favorite song...
REMEMBER...I'm not REALLY gone!
I LOVE YOU, MAMA!

Ms. Liberty
By Irene Renee Petit
"Give me your tired, your poor..."
Those words don't mean much anymore.
"Your huddled masses yearned to breathe free.
But now look what's happened to me!
I recall when I loomed in your sight,
Your weary faces glowed with delight.
I remember your misty eyes,
And your happy, heartfelt sighs...
Your tearstained faces showed cheer
That you were finally here,
In the land of the free and the brave!
You fell to your knees and prayed,
Prayers of thanks that you finally were free,
Yes, you knew when you first saw Me.
But now, what am I to do?
My words no longer ring true.
Come together and take my hand--
Help me stand proud and tall once again...
FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FELLOW MAN!"

A LITTLE BOY
By Irene Renee Petit
"I'm frightened...where is the light?"
The little boy's eyes filled with fright.
"I want my mommy and daddy!
I miss my family so badly."
"I want them back," he cried,
"Where are they? Have they died?"
He crouched in a corner, alone,
And remembered his happy home...
The warmth of his mother's embrace-
The love he saw in her face...
He and Daddy playing cars,
And looking at all the stars!
He remembered his Nana, so dear,
When with her, he had nothing to fear.
She sang all his favorite songs,
And danced in her old blue thongs.
"Mistah, you're on my my mind,
Hey Mistah, we're two of a kind,
Yeah Mistah...keeping my eye on you!"
And oh, how her words rang so true.
He remembered his Poppy, so sweet,
They ate 'Stupid Noodles' while watching TV...
He laughed as he played and splashed
While Poppy gave him his bath.
Soaked and wet, Poppy laughed too,
After bathtime, they played 'Peek-a-Boo'.
Poppy hid beside the bed
Till the little boy hugged his head.
"Where are they now?," he sighed.
"I want them back in my life!
They didn't do anything bad...
Did I? Is that why I'm sad?"
"I don't love these people I'm with!
If only I'd get my one wish--
To be with my family again,
Then these nightmares would finally end!"
Frightened, alone in the dark,
The little boy noticed a spark...
A man held a cross up high,
And whispered, "I've heard your cries.
"Hold onto my robes," He said,
"You now have nothing to dread--
Have faith in Me and you'll be
Returned to your family."
He said, "I now hold your fears,"
And kissed away the boy's tears.
"For I am always with you,
I am the Way and the Truth.
The little boy sighed in delight
As his room stayed filled with the light.
Unafraid, he somehow knew
That His comforting words rang true!

WHERE HAS SHE GONE?
By Irene Renee Petit
Where is that woman, so gentle and caring,
Yet bold and courageous, determined and daring?
She once was so strong, and battled abuse,
And never took anyone's phony excuse!
And after she left the cause of her pain,
She and her children were happy again.
When grandkids arrived, one after another,
She joyfully continued being a mother.
She nurtured them well and formed a close bond,
Especially to one, of whom she was fond.
They had much in common, despite the years,
With her, he had no worries or fears.
They sang and danced, played cars in the hall,
And had a blast with his big blue ball.
Then one awful day, 'they' stole him away...
She'd committed no crime, nor caused any pain.
He reached for her skirt and held on tight,
His moistened eyes searched her face in fright--
"Nana don't let them take me! I wuv you!" he cried,
That terrible day when the music died.
She fell to the floor, her screams went ignored
By everyone except her precious Lord.
Then the heartbroken Nana woefully sang,
"Not so long ago, I can still remember when
The music made us laugh until we cried...
But today, the music has died.
So, Bye Bye Miss American Pie,
This will be the day that I die--
This will be the day that I die,"
As 'they' took away her pride and joy,
Her flesh and blood, her darling boy,
And placed him with people he didn't know!
"WHY?" she shouted, "Where did he go?"
She sensed he was crying wherever he was...
Felt his confusion...knew it was unjust
That her family had been unfairly destroyed
By the State's Agents, who obviously enjoyed
The mental anguish they caused by their acts...
They laughed and patted each other's backs.
"We did it again!" they shouted in glee,
And said, "I'm glad this can't happen to me!"
Her precious Lord watched with tears in His eyes.
He was well-aware of 'their' filthy lies.
He took pity upon her as she sobbed,
As He knew she'd been unjustly robbed.
He tenderly told her, "I am here.
Your family now has nothing to fear,
For through you, I will make the truth known!
Be assured, your grandson is NEVER alone.
I'm aware of his confusion and fright,
But I faithfully stay with him day and night,
As you also do, because he's in your heart...
Therefore, your spirits will never part!
Continue to speak only the truth,
And I will forever work through you
To let all the people finally see
That Innocent Families were meant to be!
Again, be that woman, so gentle and caring,
Bold and courageous, determined and daring!
Do all you can to stop Family Abuse...
And as you well know, there is no excuse
For the torture 'they' put my children through!
Help all come together and fight for the truth
To be known by every woman and man,
As most of MY children don't understand!
They haven't walked in your battered shoes,
And I know for a fact, they haven't a clue
Of what the injustice 'they' carelessly cause
To Innocent Children and Parents draws!
Yes, I am angered by all that I see,
So bring all injustice only to me...
Tell only the truth, and don't hold a grudge,
And remember...I am the final Judge!
'They'll' be held accountable, and will pay
For their lies upon their Judgment Day!"
After His lips brushed her ear,
She knew that she had nothing to fear.
And she sang, "Hi there, Miss American Pie,
This won't be the day that I die...
For today, He heard me pray!"
And then, the music played!

THE WALKING WOUNDED
By Irene Renee Petit
A quart of Scotch, a mind-altering pill,
Or maybe a Shrink or a therapist will
Help innocent parents escape the strife
When the CPS comes to destroy their life.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
"We're taking your kids! Kiss them good-bye!"
Her heart crumbled as her babies cried,
"Mom, don't let them take us! We love you so!"
As the CPS grabbed them and said, "Let's go!"
She helplessly watched as her Gifts from Above
Were taken away, despite the love
And safety she'd provided through the years...
She fell to the floor in a puddle of tears.
"WHY?" she screamed in the quiet hall,
As her sobs echoed off the crayoned walls.
"I never did anything wrong!" she cried,
"Why do I feel that my Angels have died?"
In a house too silent, she slowly crawled
To the phone, where she nervously called
A Doctor of Psychiatry.
"Surely," she thought, "he will help me."
Never experiencing such awful grief,
She was given mind-altering meds to relieve
The heartbreak that CPS caused her to bear
By snatching her kids...it just wasn't fair!
Meanwhile, on the other side of town,
The CPS went to a house and found
A father who'd raised his daughter alone...
"We received an anonymous call by phone.
We're taking your daughter away from you
As we heard of the awful things you do."
"I don't understand what you mean," he exclaimed.
His daughter stood by his side and proclaimed,
"What awful things? My Dad's a good man!
He loves me and never has laid a hand
On me! So tell me, why all this fuss?"
"Shut-up little girl, and come with us!"
The CPS then took hold of her hand
And led her away from a wonderful man.
"Daddy, I love you! I don't want to go!
You've never harmed me and I'll tell them so!"
He helplessly watched as they left with his girl,
His precious Angel! They destroyed his world!
His eyes filled with tears, he tried not to cry,
And he loudly shouted, "WHY, WHY, WHY?"
Never a drinker, he walked to a pub,
And ordered a drink to make him numb
To the terrible pain he felt in his heart,
Caused by the CPS tearing his family apart.
In the next town, a family gathered
To barbecue...but their party was shattered
When all of a sudden, CPS came their way
And ruined what was left of a happy day.
Nana and Poppy, Uncles and Aunts,
In-laws, cousins, and worried Parents
Faced CPS and asked, "Why are you here?"
"You don't provide them with proper care.
Because of this, we must take them away."
"But," an aunt said, "They were only at play!"
"It doesn't matter--they're filthy! We CAN
and WILL load all of them into our van!"
The family members yelled, "Don't take our kids!
We were having fun! Why must you do this?"
"We're only doing our job," they replied,
As the frightened children screamed and cried.
The family watched, confused and dismayed
As the CPS drove their children away.
They bowed their heads in prayer and cried,
As all their rights had been deprived.
A mother screamed, "THEY STOLE MY LIFE!"
As she ran to the table and reached for a knife.
Her husband gently took hold of her hand
And tried to help her to understand.
"Don't you see what's going on?
We're falsely accused, now our children are gone!
Entire families are being destroyed
By the CPS, who maliciously toys
With the minds and hearts of the innocent--
Mental Abuse is their ONLY intent!
We must remain strong and put up a fight
To regain our God-given parental Rights!"
Locked away from their families,
Children huddled and begged, "Oh please,
Let us go home--we don't like it here!"
The CPS laughed and said, "We don't care!"
The children were placed on mind-altering meds--
"Get your families out of your heads!"
One child spoke up..."YOU tore us apart,
But our families will ALWAYS be in our hearts!"
"Shut-up little boy or we'll certainly see
That you're never returned to your family!
We CAN and WILL do as we please,
As we ARE the source of Family Disease!"
The boy's eyes grew cold, and he boldly said,
"You monsters won't ever control our heads!
For all of us here completely agree
That Families were always meant to be!"

Lost Innocence
by Irene Renee Petit
He cried as he left the warmth of his mother's soft womb.
And She cried tears of joy as she held her first-born...a son!
And his crying stopped...he was safe.
Did He know at that most peaceful moment of his new life what lay ahead for him?
Did He know that when asked, "Do you ever feel like shaking the baby?"
That his mother, young and naive, would reply honestly,
"I had that feeling once, but would NEVER do it."
Did he know that by that statement alone, they'd snatch him away from her life,
tearing her heart and soul out along with him?
"My Baby," she cried, "My Baby! I didn't do anything wrong!"
But THEY didn't care...why should they?
Did he wonder where that lady went--
The one who tenderly held him close to her breast,
who soothed his arrival into this cold, harsh world with the familiar beat of her heart?
Did he search for the face of the first woman he'd fallen in love with?
Did he seek-out her scent, and listen for the comforting sweetness of her voice?
Did he wish he could express what he was feeling?
"My MOMMY!" he'd scream, "My MOMMY!
Please give me back to my MOMMY!
She didn't do anything wrong!"
But all he could do was cry.
And all she could do was cry.
And all THEY could do was laugh
as they watched her spirit die.

For The Christine Family
by Irene Renee Petit, 6/02/02
Mommy, why can't you be with us?
Why are they making such a fuss
Because you and Dad love us so?
Mom, I don't understand! Let me know!
Mommy, why are they taking you,
And my sweet Daddy too?
You didn't do anything bad...
Did we? Is that why we're sad?
Mommy, listen...hear that voice?
Oh wow! There's a man with a cross!
The light is so bright, I can't see,
But I hear Him crying near me!
Mom, He's holding me in His arms...
He says none of us will be harmed,
And that you and Daddy were right,
And He's with all of us day and night.
Mom, He makes me feel safe and glad,
Says He knows the truth and He's mad!
Says the people will finally see
That families were meant to be!
Oh, Mom, He says not to fear,
Because He will always be here
For all of us forever...
Even though we're not together.
They love us so, I cry,
He kisses my tears and sighs,
"I AM the final Judge, you see,
So leave all injustice only with me!
They'll be held accountable, and will pay
For destroying this family come Judgment Day!"
Mom, He's holding me close--I feel so warm,
Just like I did in your loving arms!
Mom, He said something I don't understand...
"What the Lord's joined together, let no man
Put asunder! I created the Family!
Destroyers of it will answer to Me!"
OH, now I know what's going on...
They took you away for being strong!
And for loving your kids so very much...
Don't fear, for we'll always be in touch,
If only in spirit, we'll always be
Together, as God meant us to be!
His gentle eyes are still moist with tears,
"Have faith," He whspers, "I'll hold your fears!"
I LOVE YOU, MOMMY and DADDY!

Happy Father's Day?
By Irene Renee Petit
I heard I should forgive you, even though you took my Dad;
You knew my Daddy loved me, and was never mean or bad.
Some people also say that I should tell you that I love you,
Even after all the pain you made me suffer through,
By the lies you told which made it so I couldn't see my father.
But through my tears I wonder, "Why should I even bother?"
You took away important years meant for Dad and me-
I missed out on so very much, which wasn't meant to be!
I didn't get to do the things Dads and their children do,
I was denied my Daddy, and all because of you!
I didn't feel his big strong arms whenever I was sad;
He wasn't here to sit with me at night when I was scared!
He couldn't chase away the monsters hiding under my bed;
Because of you, there were times I wished that I was dead!
"Where's my Daddy?" I would cry, "Why did he have to go?
I need and want my Daddy! Oh, I love and miss him so!"
Yet, even though my Dad's not here, I feel him in my heart...
As we love each other very much, our spirits will not part.
I'll say I love you and forgive you now, because I know
That my Daddy's ALWAYS with me, even though you made him go!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DADDY!
