Helen
Helen died in august .
She just turned thirtyone.
She died by a man
A man holding a gun.
Her little girl by the stairway
Calling for her mom.
A man standing in the kitchen
Helens on the ground.
Her life changed forever
From a single gun shot round.
Police came and went .
The next day papers hit the stand
What horrible news to ever hit the land
Headlines read..
"fowerville women shot . to much bloodloss
For survial ems tried pronouced dead on arrival."
