The Quarterback
A talented High School quarterback
Handsome and powerfully built.
The object of sexual attraction
Free of remorse or guilt.
A disbelieving community
Just couldn’t comprehend.
His being charged with rape
He was everybody’s friend.
An all American boy
Nobody would have guessed.
That he was a sexual predator
When the cops they did arrest.
He worked the jury with his charm
The Cheerleaders were painted as whores.
There reputations all were sullied
As a free man, he walked out the door.
