A Friend's Deception

                 In 2005, on a July morning
                James Aderman killed my son
                His "so called friend" from what I've heard
                But, no "friend" would do what he done
 
                He left my son in a row of trees
                Like a dead animal along a road
                He either walked home or called for a ride
                Who knows, from the lies he's told
 
                He called the local authorities
                His vehicle was "stolen" he said
                But, Jamie knew where his vehicle was
                And he knew my son was dead
 
                He then called a bunch of people
                Asking if they'd seen my son
                Driving the "stolen" vehicle of his
                To cover what he had done
 
                Numerous times he placed these calls
                Acting like he was concerned
                But, all of these were nothing but lies
                From the evidence and the truth we have learned
 
                Blood was found on the airbags
                That deployed when the crash occurred
                More blood was found around the site
                There was blood on my son's shirt
 
                None of this blood belonged to my son
                Someone else had to be there
                Someone who left his "closest friend"
                A "friend" who showed no care
 
                The State began to investigate
                They knew that something was wrong
                When Jamie was questioned later that day
                He sang a different song
 
                He hired an "experienced lawyer"
                That his wife had used, you see
                When she hit another vehicle
                And killed a mother of three
 
                So now this couple have taken two lives
                Six children were left behind
                Both deaths so utterly senseless
                Their scars so etched in our minds
 
                I realize that accidents happen
                And lives are sometimes taken
                But to be left alone on a country road
                Called a "thief", abandoned, forsaken!
 
                There is no excuse for what James did
               "Friends" don't do friends this way
                The hurt, the sadness and loss we feel
                Are worse than words can say
 
                I used to be a "Biker"
                It seems like ions now
                When I knew how to hurt my enemies
                But, I still remember how
 
                So, as a dad, that has lost a son
                The Judicial System is a sham
                I've put my faith in The Righteous Judge
                I'll let Him deal with this man
 
                But, life goes on and as the years pass by
                We're to mature and age with time
                But James Aderman, I will never forget
                You killed a son of mine.
 
  This poem was written about the man who was driving the vehicle that killed my son.
PS. This man got 45 evenings in jail, a fine, and 4 years probation.
