The BBC One show, ABUSED tells of the old victims horrors,
Twisted in youth to form puppets
Who have dangled and creaked throughout life.
.
They have at least found release from the tightness
Of thread wound across them, slick saccharine stains
Used to oil them, dried by the salted breath
.
Of warped cocks. Close to the end, a disguise
Placed over a boy/man fucked by (Chris) Denning,
Both appals and detaches with the stark strangeness shown.
.
CGI on the hair , his eyes as well, cartoon eyebrows.
The nose, oddly painted, his girlfriend
Also badly adapted, beside.
.
This does not serve or assist, or provide
The seclusion, wanted no doubt by the victim
Who shares the same name as mine.
.
Instead, it renders these old crimes extinct,
As if perpetrated perhaps
by Bugs Bunny, whose overbite and charisma
.
De-emphasise ancient signs.
The investigation persists, but somewhere out there,
‘They’ continue; In the semi-priviliged jail cell
.
And an infamous lair, undisclosed.
How do those old Devils live in their declining skin
And desire? Withering on but reviving
.
Small explosions of blood on love’s rose.
To these men, the ability to perform Unnatural acts
Became natural; The kiss on a cousin
.
Related to the use of a tongue on a child.
Orality with your love as a generation’s morality
Lessens, is in conversation divided
.
Between those favouring the accepted
Norm and the wild. The programme reports
But it resolves very little;
.
The evil die, like the victims, who,
So much younger endeavour to linger on
Under storms. But whether convicted, or dead,
.
Or ruining their reputations, those we’ve uncovered
Are never in the broken dark asking why.
It is only when we accept that the bitter tree
.
Is still growing. And that its roots sparked within us
Are trimmed by the wrong gardeners
That we will have the chance to reform
.
And to recognise the great weakness
That allows truth to blossom and stops
The ground beneath our shame, hardening.
