| Ariel Castro, convicted rapist and kidnapper, apparently committed suicide in prison last week. |
"Ariel," his parent's choice for one who
grew to be a monster, has a meaning
quite the opposite, very lion of God.
No one asked which god or could have guessed
the little cub would grow into a predator
that hunted and devoured his prey. When
one has passed we often voice desire that
he or she will rest in peace,
but it is his victims who deserve it,
not the lion who escaped cold metal bars
erected for the purpose of containing
evil men and evil deeds and evil minds.
