What do you think this poem is about?

Unfair Justice

How many souls must be murdered?
How many people must be raped?
How many lives must be tortured?



People walk free with murder
People walk free with rape
People are tortured everyday of our lives
But the law sentences the criminals for maximum of three years
What about the pain that will never go away
What about the wounds that will never be closed
What about the life, confidence and happiness that has been taken away.


Enough is enough
