Time May Tell

Some whom we honor make lives living hell
Their colleagues know the abuses quite well
People walk about broken
With their anguish unspoken
Wretched secrets are hidden but time may tell

I have in mind so many professionals, Doctors abusing patients. It's sorrowful that the colleagues never blew the whistle! Glad to see you back on PS, much missed

All too true. 'Honors' are almost always suspect these days.
