Slaughter In Pike County

When you hear of a slaughter happening

You turn to God and will ask Him God why

We know we will find all the truth about it

When we enter in to the Holy City in the sky

A seemly senseless slaying of eight people

As three innocent babies are spared there life

I only wish I had the answer to tell everyone

It seems this whole world is so filled with strife

When it happens so close you do pay attention

It could have been your family that met their fate

It is my prayer their soul they had given to God

I just hope that they didn't put it off and was late

If and when they catch the people who did this

This most hideous crime that everyone avows

There can be no reason that would cause this

Let their fate be everything that the law allows
