..Puppets on a String..

Once famous in the celebrity ranks,

His fortune now amassed in banks,

Hidden past, his utter shame,

Young and innocent took the blame,

Not their fault, more taken by surprise,

This beastly being hiding behind his celebrity guise,

He thought he could buy anyone or anything,

Dangle them like puppets on a string,

No one will ever suspect,

Always assured politically correct,

No finger pointing will ever come his way,

Who’s going to believe? A single word they say,

Your word against mine and who are you,

This is what his power could do,

In a courtroom time had caught up with him,

So many abused, he now faced his victims,

Surely they can’t be telling lies,

Still no shame to be seen in his eyes,

He pleaded not guilty to all the charges

His crafty lawyers fought the prosecution barrages

But the jury would sit and wince,

It was them they had to try and convince,

And finally cometh the hour,

A guilty verdict and the Judges power,

For now no doubt, this disgusting being,

The public will now no longer be seeing

Eight years in jail he will get to bask

This fallen celebrity won’t be the last.
