violated victim able to see right justice visited,

is behind prison bars of civilised sentencing.

It is rare that royalty faces the full force of
the law and paedophile’s are held to account,
wealthy or poor, public or private, halted for
each vulnerable child deserves to live safely.

It is rare that we find good overcoming evil,
as vice, calumny and cruelty are newsworthy
but the good is oft interred and the efforts of
hard working folk is the quiet grace of God.
