Regrets And Sorrows Of Jack Gruet Poem by Hubert Wilson

If only they had believed?
So many now would not be bereaved?
Their leader had gladly deceived?
Such deceptions he had weaved?
The truth - Jack Gruet had perceived!
Instead only the public's ire he received!
When the written evidence he retrieved,
More than just a few were peeved!
Threats and more were at him heaved!
How could he question the leader's image heroicly conceived?
Now from his own regrets Jack Gruet is unrelieved!
He too is more than aggrieved!
Disaster and sorrows avoided - if only, IN Jack Gruet, they had believed?
