Sestina

A young child tried to fight
Eventually succumbed to might
Rapist kept her in his sight
Sentence 60 days and 60 nights
Court is tainted by such blight
Is such injustice ever right

Judge believes that he is right
For this rapist he did fight
Now on honour there is blight
How can he sleep well at nights
Was it well used, his lawful might
Does he ever dream the sight

Creep into her nightmares might
Teaching her that wrong is right
Screaming anger to the nights
I pray she can win this fight
With our help, perhaps she might
For ever remove this blight

True justice might avoid this blight
Let night be joyous to her sight
For what is right we all must fight


You probably all know this case better than I do
I wrote the first six lines for another site

Then I continued it into something
But I'm not sure what??

longte;  This type of crime seems to be prevalent everywhere now!  So many times, the perpetrator gets off with next to nothing in the way of punishment and the victim pays the rest of her or his life!

Judge was in Vermont very recently
Multiple rape of a girl from the age of 6 until she was 10
Judge gave him 60 days
Appeal is going on now
