Angelchild

Little child, who knew your life would end like this.
Not me, and surely not many other either.
I didn't knew you, I never met you,
but when you disappeared you engaged
so many more than those you already knew.

The village, country, even the neighbourhood countries
followed the search for you. Through the newspapers,
tv channels, internet. Candles were lit all over,
poems written, fingers crossed.

Everyone was waiting for the news
and even though they came today,
I guess they could have been happier
than they were, instead of filling us all
with joy and relief, it woke even more questions,
all on the same subject. Why, why did it have to be you,
why did that guy do the thing he actually did,
why did he have to be at that point at that time.

You were such a young girl, so happy, so full of joy,
you had the whole life in front of you,
you were so undestroyed by all troubles in life,
simply so full of happiness. You didn't deserve this,
not at all, no one should be expressed
to these kinds of things, and least of all, kids.
We were so many waiting, longing for the news
that you had been found alive, somewhere in the outback
and been returned home to your family.

I think I speak for many people when I say
that none of us expected this.
Let's gather together now and show our support
for her family and the other ones who knew her
closer than us, because this is the time
when they need it more than ever.
Let's also hope that the man who did it
will get the punishment he deserves.

A man that does something like this,
who knows what will come next? I don't know,
I don't wanna know and I certainly don't wanna guess.
I guess the only thing we can do now is to hope
that she's alright where she is now and that
nothing will hurt her again.
Still, I can't deny it, I miss her more
than words can say, even though I didn't know her.

I guess I could and would be able to say more,
but I guess I have to finish soon or this input
would become way too long for anyone to read.
Let me just finish this in the same way as I started,
by saying "Who knew it would happen to you".

Sometimes I wonder if there's any justice left
in this world, especially when the present
start to attack the future.

Rest In Peace Engla, you will be missed.
