Funeral arrangements for Dakarai Milburn Age 23

MESSAGE TO MY MURDERER

Who are you to silence my laughter?

To determine the end of my happily ever after.

Who are you to aid me in my biggest fear, to make my family shed tears, and to no longer be here?

You were that threatened by my words because it wasn’t my actions, I wish that door camera had closed caption.

So, the world can hear you for who you really are, so you can be where you belong---behind bars.

The difference between me and you….is your family can come to visit you.

Send you letters hoping you’re doing better.

Share pictures and share stories of how things used to be.

My family can only visit me by standing over me.

Our memories are only in our minds, laughing about the things I used to do from time to time.

But who are you to make my fate?

Who are you to give me an expiration date? You ran into that house where you were safe.

You chose to grab a gun and didn’t even give me time to run.

Really, who are you?

You’re supposed to be my brother. The only thing you did for me is now I can be with my mother.

Who are you to cause so much pain and strife?

Oh yeah, you’re the man who took my life!
