Perverts

When I heard the news
The latest pervert was convicted,
I felt glad he’d pay
For all the pain that he inflicted.

Though he’ll go to jail
(And hopefully, will rot in hell),
It sounds as if his victims
Aren’t faring quite so well.

Their detailed stories fill me
With disgust and downright rage;
What the perpetrator’s feeling, though
Is very hard to gauge.

He had to know that what he did
Was horrible and wrong;
Among the lowest of the low
Is where he does belong.

He did it with impunity
And no one said a word;
Accusing such a trusted soul
Seemed totally absurd.

The lesson to be learned is that
Appearances can lie;
Suspicions should be followed –
No exceptions should apply.

My heart goes out to all of those
Who suffered at the hands
Of the perverts who deserve the fate
Society demands.
