How does one reconcile
Something that is so vile
How does on continue on
When all hope is but gone

A pain that laid within
How does one start to begin
To explain to those outside
Something that one must hide

An innocents life taken
And have left others shaken
A little girl left alone
Many are her clone

What happens to her today
Its years on; some may say
The little girl remembers
And seeks justice; burning embers

A dream; a resolution crushed
Because its all so hushed
Society does not care
It does not seem that fair

What the little girl endured
It cannot be easily cured
The memory will not go
Thoughts too and fro

What is this evil you may ask
What makes her cry; where the mask
What has taken away her dreams
What is the mighty sounds and screams

The father many years before
Made her hide in fear; and more
Scared, crying to huddled small
Hiding ; daring she may fall

Scared of his unwanted advances
Hiding her fear of the glances
She wanders through the world
Rose coloured glasses; now unfurled

She thought that the world was fair
Seemly far off; if she would dare
Take on the courts or seek a trial
For this known pedophile

For today she has lost her hope
She has learnt that and cannot cope
That the trial would be a fast
Because injustice is here at last

He would not spend prison time
He would not pay for the crime
Of taking 6 years from her life
Of causing all this awful strife

The little child is so sad
As I explained what is so bad
She must cry in pain
Sick and dreadful must remain

What can I tell the little child
That adults think that it is so mild
That she lived in fear for years
Injustice fills her tears.

There is one last compensense
For poetry makes so much sense
She can release it in this rhyme
Crying for the unknown crime


The basis for this poem

I have discovered today that after suffering 6 years of sexual abuse, years of recovery time, therapy  that a trial will not be forthcoming.  Thanks for reading the poem

i'm so sorry. i know it does not seem like justice and in truth it is not justice...when this happeneded to me it went to trial and he got off any way with a slap on the wrist. years later i still have nightmares, and had to live thru it one more time when it happened again as an adult....justice came that time, but it doesn't take away the nightmares. no child or adult should have to suffer what is suffered when this happens. my heart goes out to you and am always here for what ever reason you may need.

Dearest whitedove,
I understand how you feel for many reasons. Many times justice is not! However, don't let this man have your soul. Live on my friend! Know that one day he will pay! You are not at any fault. You have taken a very bad experience and have touched so many lives. I was impressed with your website and I know in my heart that many girls have benefited from your unpleasant, horrible, experience! Take the good and run with it. Shout it to the world, help others! YOu are a special person in my heart and if you ever just need to talk know that I am here!
I can't tell you how many injustices I have seen in these cases. For whatever reason this happened, it will make you a stronger person. You are woman....let me continue to hear you roar! Sending you hugs of love!

(((hugs)))) for annie

It is so sad that they get away with it.  Again and again I hear tales of short prison sentences and the molesters doing it again.  The abuser I discuss in this poem has effected 4 girls lives (that I know of) - hence Where is the justice?

Feeling better today - pits of despair yesterday and had to write the poem above and post it.
