Jane Cordova Doe (Killed In Las Vegas 1/12/06)
Who killed our little baby,
Jane Cordova Doe?
Who placed her in a Dumpster with a heartless woe?
What lunatic could batter
an innocent soul?
What collapse of decency and vex takes control?
Where are the baby's parents
and the next of kin?
Where are the arms that held her against warmest skin?
How could someone strike her dead
and then run away?
How could someone take a life short of grave dismay?
When will the culprits answer
and face just deserts?
When will we find closure even though it hurts?
