John Pius — Only Thirteen
A tribute to John and the Pius family
By T-Girl Angel
[Verse 1]
Long Island, nineteen seventy-nine,
A boy took his bicycle out for a ride.
His father expected him home that night,
But evening faded without him in sight.
There should have been footsteps coming through the door,
A bicycle resting where it stood before.
Instead, his family called his name,
And nothing would ever be the same.
[Chorus]
John Pius, only thirteen,
With so much life he hadn’t seen.
More than a headline, more than a case,
A son whose absence nothing could replace.
We say your name with tenderness today,
For the years you should have had
And the family left to find their way.
[Verse 2]
They searched through darkness, hoping still,
Along the paths, beside the school.
Every passing hour brought fear,
They only wanted their boy near.
Beneath the leaves, his bicycle lay,
Then came the news no words could change.
A mother and father lost their son,
Before his life had barely begun.
[Chorus]
John Pius, only thirteen,
With so much life he hadn’t seen.
More than a headline, more than a case,
A son whose absence nothing could replace.
We say your name with tenderness today,
For the years you should have had
And the family left to find their way.
[Bridge — Statement]
A child deserves to make it home.
A family deserves the truth.
Justice must be built on evidence,
And never lose sight of you.
Through hearings, trials, and passing years,
Beyond the arguments and doubt,
There was a boy who should have lived—
Let his name be spoken now.
[Verse 3]
To the Pius family, these words are small,
They cannot answer or mend it all.
I cannot know the grief you bear,
But I can offer remembrance here.
Your son deserves a place in song,
Where love for him can carry on.
We leave a moment, quiet and clear,
For John, who should still be here.
[Final Chorus]
John Pius, only thirteen,
With so much life he hadn’t seen.
A birthday candle, another spring,
All the ordinary joys life brings.
We say your name with tenderness today,
For the years you should have had
And the family left to find their way.
[Outro]
A boy went out upon his bike.
He should have made it home that night.
For John,
For those who loved him,
We remember.
