Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

justice comes to those who wait
I've waited.....
but i find no justice here....
you stole her innocence
like a theif in the night
she kept your secret
noone to confide
you say it was her
she wanted what you did
it was her surprise
how could she know?
she was only five!
i grabbed her in my warm strong arms
pleaded for her to tell what was wrong
she was scared
spoke not a word
still keeping your secret
i wondered what she feared
then you were caught!
no where to hide
get out of this one?
oh how you tried!
the police they came
turned your house upside down
the things they found
should put a guilty  man to shame
they questioned and booked you
then set you free
on $500 dollars bond
what a small fee!
you were tried and convicted
of misconduct in the 3rd degree!!
she'll soon be thirteen
too much she's seen
of how man can be so low
the price she paid much greater
then any you'll ever know!
with the ghost of you
she's lived
for the last few years
still a childs mind
reliving all the fears
a young woman deep inside
crying to get out
she remembers you still
i guess she always will
for you still reside just over the hill!!

How sickening, Julie! None of this should happen, and all we can do is deal with it when it does. No one, especially a child of five, should have to keep those kind of "secrets" and feel the pain they do. Thanks for sharing.

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

Thank you for the reply...I do agree noone should have to go through what she did...yet even in our great country there is no justice for children!!! I guess that was the point I was trying to make here....it happens too much it is something we have to face and stop hiding from only then will our children have the justice they need!
Just too sad.....but thank you.....

In my mind justice would be taking this slimball out back and putting a .45 calibar to good use.  That's just how I feel about child abuse... cause there's really nothing that will ever even the score or make it better.

Sorry for your girls pain.  I wish you and she peace of mind.

It is pathetic how this sick minded man can be in a position or even be able to think about getting away with this...I have to hope and believe that if man's justice doesn't give him his due reward than God will deal with him.  He deserves no mercy.
