A sheepish smile draws across his face;

She, too young, lays atop the torn and tattered pink lace.

Once this friendly bond between teacher and student was true;

A terrible truth unvailed from a man who is cruel.

She shudders and thinks no, it’s not alright;

She cries and believes she could never win this fight.

He was physically strong and successfully manipulative, she was not;

He told her, it’s ok, and that he would never be caught.

A teacher is a person in which we give our trust;

Parents and others unwilling to believe teachers can feel anger, hate, or lust.

A child is weak and easily overpowered;

This mans actions are the making of a real coward.
