Baby Brown



I pray
Aaliyah is your angel now
baby boy
baby brown
baby spirit
torn down
unguarded
left to drown

your heart
will sit with me
sing to me
sweet melody
revealing
importance of a love true
beautiful boy
beautiful you


In response to the homophobic taunts of his young peers, eleven year old Carl Joseph Walker Hoover took his life

This thickness needs to thin

Signed,
Silent

  1. This is crazy. May his soul rest in piece. How horible. Poem is beautiful? especially I love the first line, Aaliyah is everybody's angel.
