Dennis Rader

Dennis Rader

deserves to be in general population – D.A.
Kansas State Penitentiary
protective custody, not completely safe
locked in cell by himself 23 hours a day
forty years
eligible for parole when he reaches 100
14,600 days
346,400 hours in an iron cage
forty years in the desert of his mind
here is where we will learn
the truth or falsity of his expressed remorse
What is missing here Keith Oberman
and Jack Levin of Northwest University?
How did a man turn into a serial killer
who was fond of animals, loved to garden,
in the Air Force, a wife and daughter,
write poetry, love music
and still not be separated from reality?

What if he was separated from reality
of being a sentient human being?
What if hearing the victims grief
WAS a learning curve for him.
If it is a learning curve maybe
he will be the next Bird Man.

When 89% of CNN “Quick Voters”
do not care if Radder gets abused by other inmates
fully aware rape in prison is rampant suggesting
89% of the voters are not Christian
which by definition
is doing what Jesus would do.
