Hello guys, I made a poem about the West Memphis Three a little while back. I have been thinking about the injustice of this case, and how upset it makes me that such a thing could happen. Please read this bulletin I posted on my band's MySpace. The text is copied directly from the bulletin:
---------------------- http://www.wm3.org/Updates
I know I've brought up the West Memphis Three in the past, and I'm doing it again because this issue is important to me. Please visit the website and read about the case if you don't know about the WM3.
Think about it, this could have been you. I'm not an expert when it comes to politics or social issues, but I know injustice when I see it. Three metalheads, not much different from the rest of us, just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunately, their differences led to unfair punishment from a fearful, conservative town. It is possible that Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelly Jr. may never see the justice that they deserve. However, we can't give up and let them suffer without a fight.
If you feel the same way I do, please support the cause in any way you can. Make donations, spread the word, do anything. Go to iTunes and buy the single "Justice At Last" by A Sound Of Thunder, 100% of proceeds will go to the West Memphis Three Legal Defense Fund.
One step suggested by Echols himself is to simply be respectful. While nobody has the right to judge you by your looks or taste in music, you can give metalheads a better name by simply being respectful. Make it easier on yourself, and try to only question authority when necessary.
Thank you for reading, free the West Memphis Three. -Ty ---------------------
