The Angel Of Charters Towers

Charters Towers is a town in Australia.Some years ago we had a nurse by the name of Pamela Rose who took it upon herself to do Gods work with the sick and dying in the local hospital-Following is my tribute to Pamela Rose who stood trial charged with the murder of one of her patients Ron Bucholtz.

SHE WAS THE ANGEL OF CHARTERS TOWERS,
SHE TOOK AWAY GODS POWERS,
VISITED THEM LATE,THROUGH THE NIGHT
SHE STROKED THEIR HEAD"IT'LL BE ALRIGHT"
BUT WHEN THEIR PAIN WAS TAKEN,
IT LEFT CHARTERS TOWERS SHAKEN
MANY PEOPLE LEFT TO SOB
"IS IT RIGHT TO DO GODS JOB?"

SOME PEOPLE SAY "ITS BEST TO BE
YOUR LIFE IN HANDS OF DESTINY,
NO THOUGHTS OF BEING WELL AGAIN
BUT THEY DON'T SEE THE PAIN,THE STRAIN
A PILLOW, CRADLE FOR THEIR HEAD
CAN'T MOVE,JUST WASTE AWAY IN BED.
TO SIT AND FEEL YOU BODY ROT
ALL THOUGHTS OF LOVE AND LIFE FORGOT.

YES,I BELIEVE IN DESTINY
AND PAMELA ROSE ,IS PART YOU SEE?
SHE COULDN'T SEE THEM LYING THERE
WHEN A MUCH MORE PEACEFUL ROAD COULD STEER.
SHE SET HERSELF AS JURY,JUDGE
A PUSH TO DEATH SHE GAVE A NUDGE
FOR RON BUCHOLTZ THERE'S NO MORE PAIN,
HIS FAMILY FREED,TO LIVE AGAIN

AND NOW HIS FEEBLE LIFE IS LOST
ITS PAMELA ROSE THAT PAYS THE COST.
STAYS IN HER HOME,SHE'S IN RETREAT
SHE CAN'T WALK DOWN THE CITY SREETS
THERE SHE STAYS,AND WON'T COME OUT
TO GIVE THEM MORE TO TALK ABOUT
BUT,PAMELA ROSE,DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT,
FOR THOSE WHO THINK YOU DID WHATS RIGHT.

AND PAMELA ROSE, SHOULD I EVER BE THIS ILL
I HOPE AND PRAY, YOU'RE NURSING STILL.
