'' But When Will Society Ever Learn '' Poem by Bri Mar

Why do humans tell lies after they chastise,
Is the truth too much that they need a crutch,
Reality they must hide as it proves they've been snide,
While they don't get caught their victims are left fraught.

When even a cardinal admits the profile fits,
The accusers are wrong they should have been strong,
Kept it all hidden speaking out is forbidden,
Though now vindicated by the church they are hated.

A crime so unjust committed by those we trust,
To their eternal shame they will not accept blame,
They'll cause such ado by claiming fault lies with you,
In a tone that's reserved you got what you deserved.

We're then hidden away to prevent further affray,
The abuser's stands tall while you're left to fall,
Out of sight out of mind are we really that blind,
All abuse is a crime committed by slime.

Teachers and priests being exposed as beasts,
You're left to grieve as your innocence they relieve,
They creep back to their lairs while for you no-one cares,
Innocent people are now dying because of their lying.

Personalities being exposed as the truth is disclosed,
We're all innocent they shout as their riches hold clout,
For the victims of rape there is no escape,
For the remainder of their life they'll live with the strife.

Some of their lives ended because they couldn't be mended,
Tortured souls living life in black holes,
Being treated like dirt whilst still suffering the hurt.
Whether an adult or a child your actions are reviled.

You know who you are that's what's really bizarre,
For committing your abuse you'll use every excuse,
As your innocence is maintained your guilt is explained,
Contempt from the abused is what you earn,
