A Victim Impact Statement

My Victim Impact Statement to Mr. Kohlberger

Yes, you impacted me.

You make me feel so sick.

But I have come to see

That this is part of your twisted trick.

Did you want fifteen minutes of fame?

Did you want to make history?

You played your selfish game —

Your “why” is plain to see.

You are an ugly little man

That no one wanted to know,

So you made a conceited plan

To make your dark fame grow.

Now, for the rest of your life,

You shall be confined.

May you know only strife

From the monster in your mind.

You will not live in my head.

We are too humane to kill you —

Though many want to see you dead,

Take your life, we will not do.

So now, for the rest of your existence,

We will keep you in a sealed jail.

From us, we’ll keep you at a distance —

Locked in your own form of hell.
