long ago, decades to be sure,
on a cold philadelphia night,
as the darkness enveloped a city road,
except for the angels keeping watch over
the stars,
a car comes to a stop, a person exits
and opens the hood to the trunk,
a box is pulled from the bed,
a precious cargo once alive now dead.
In the woods next to the road,
by the muskrat traps and rabbit warren,
the boy in the box is placed, arms
crossed,
naked except wrapped in a patterned
shroud,
his battered body is left.
Hair clipped, face and chest bruised.
His body malnourished, his soul unloved.
He will never know the joy of life, or the
laughter of living.
His killer goes free,
perhaps tormented in hell and silenced in
life,
perhaps not...
The box is found perhaps two or three
days,
before the police are called.
A peeping tom, or a high school jock,
claiming to be scared of the boy in the
box
they left the child there
among the muskrat traps and rabbit
warren.
His body is laid to rest,
by the officers who needed to know his
name,
haunted by dreams of the nameless child,
crying, battered, hungry and cold.
Even today hunting down the killer of the
boy in the box.
Perhaps you will shed a tear,
or hold your own child near.
A precious gift, neglected and beaten,
disposed with the trash along a deserted
road,
where the angels were too busy keeping
watch over the stars above.

That is tragic. I have seen this case on
lots of tv shows such as americas most
wanted.. Its a shame that no one has ever
been charged with doing that to him.

That is so creepy and crazy. I freaked
myself out reading about it at that
website. Thats so weird. Why would no
one claim him as their own?

Simple, because they allowed it to happen
- in fact they probably did it!

That is really sad. I got the chills
when I read that. I don't understand
who no one could claim this child. I
know some one out there knew him.

That literally made me want to vomit and
freaked the caca out of me. I bet his
father did that to him...Or possibly his
mother...
I'll have nightmares about that. I hate
reading about dead children (obviously,
who doesn't?), but even more so now that
i'm pregnant. But hte reality is that
these things do happen. They don't have
much longer, I hope it gets solved. I
agree that the parents probably did it.
