Linda you were ruined that night

when you heard five people lose their life

You heard then saw it all

Sharon clutched her belly on the floor

she begged for her baby in her womb

That concave shell became it’s tomb

Her ex-boyfriend tried in vain

to protect her but was stabbed again and again

Fifty-one time to be precise

you got to look into his eyes

There was a dead man

who had done all he can

Those Manson killers took great delight

ending five innocent lives that night

The day after, still no remorse

as they went about their reckless cause

Two more lambs to the slaughter

you turned witness, fearing for you and your daughter
