Please Remember Me
Row upon row of crosses white,
Plain, unmarked, their names unknown,
Lie children, and short were their lives,
Buried beneath Florida's tall pine trees,
You can almost hear them whisper,
Please remember me ..….
You were big and I was small,
Under your hands, not protected,
But crushed by them, you took my all,
Alone and afraid, where none could see,
I rest uneasy and forgotten,
Please remember me ...…..
For the Unknown Children that lie buried, but not forgotten, in
unmarked graves at the Florida School For Boys in Marianna, now
known as the Dozier School for Boys.

| I went down to the… WHITE HOUSE Tonight I saw myself again, through my fevered mind… a Million miles away from me, another place another time. I thought about the sorrow, the misery and the pain. I Remember all the children, yes …I remember everything. What was done back then, in the darkness of their sins, still Comes back to haunt me, forever without end. I’ve carried this a lifetime and I’ll take it to the ground. The WHITE HOUSE did exist my friends, and I hear it’s still around! The screams of all the children, that was quieted by the FAN, The pillows filled with blood and tears can’t be quieted by the MAN. My soul still screams for justice, for innocence that was Bound, for the living hell the white house heard, and for the Children that…WENT DOWN! C. Hastings 1954-55 This is dedicated to all the children (BLACK & WHITE) who Were tortured and came up missing from… Arthur G. Dozier’s School for Boys in Marianna Florida |
