This is a poem that draws to a close of and the punishment of a person who tormented hundreds of Boys from the age of 14 to 16 and I was one of them. All my poetry are of the pain and suffering I suffered. But these are a tribute to the other boys that has endured the pain and suffering and for the boys that are no longer with us. Because of the mental breakdown they suffered. Justice has been done nearly 50 year's after.

The pain we suffered I thought was buried deep. But it's raised it's ugly head again when awake and When we sleep. There names and the beatings with bat paddle and stick The inhumane circuit training that made us physically sick We had to cry at night into the pillow on our bed Being careful not to cry to loud because of the punishment We would dread But it was not just me he did it to us All. Punched kicked and humiliation and his game of murdered ball The years have passed we are all older and justice has Prevailed Let's hope you have time to think now you have been jailed.

I am sorry for what you and so many other children had to go through.. what a sick world we live in... sadly so many die without punishment.. you poem describes the torment and I hope justice teaches them a thing or two.
