fathers, brothers and uncles
abuse little girls and boys
unrepentant criminals
murder these little souls
murder looks like suicide
for our brothers and sisters
death of innocence, betrayal of trust
squashed self-worth, death in the eyes
the remorseless predators
have perfected their craft
victims visit their therapists
while the doers shrug it off
abusers are protected by
the silence of the victims
and by enabling witnesses
who ignore the so obvious
rapists seek out more victims
starting young so they’ll obey
their perverted thrills are re-ignited
more casualties of human nature
