with this ring, he ever so softly confessed to wed

this woman he married although that day could not

have known then to just what sort of bed

he would force her to lay and be laid heavily, too

painfully upon

and know that should she attempt to even once fight back

everyone around her would turn and spit foul evil words

of scorn

for he, to be thought of for so very long as so gentle,

loving, kind and impeccably good

gave to she, the recognized community tramp as beloved

good name as any betrothed man of such finely sewn cloth

should

yet now, in the murderous aftermath of the oh so shocking

ordeal

the before deaf pillows lay her to her final place of

rest

three months to the very day of ignoring her first

appeal

their shock then to realize in the thunderclap of media

and collective neglect that each and every one of them

ignored her desperate pleas for help and gave the

supposed good father permission to beat his sullied

young wife so brutally and quite bloodily to death

for what reason? the much too late came about to ask

by who else but that.......'such a good man!'

who filled their own empty yet sin filled souls with

the Lord's love and biblical breath

now who bears the full brunt of the newly acknowledged

guilt in that

those who simply chose to turn their holier than thou

noses or those who outright at her spat

the majority of them I say who so ever dared to doubt

the clearly naked truth even as it stared at each of them

so smurkingly in the face

injustice has truly, indeed been served not by the law

but by each man , woman and child whom out of shear spite

welcomed mortal jeopardy with open arms at that

Christmas party at the reverend's own place

that all too fateful night

to think, a man whose supposedly a true servant of

God serves a life sentence on death row now

how so very ironic
