Justice For Jonbenet
Jonbenet Ramsey, child beauty queen
Found dead in the basement of her family home
Photographs showed an expression so serene
To this day the perpetrator unknown
To solve the case, police questioned a neighbor
Her parents were placed under surveillance
Suspicion also cast on a jealous brother
But justice for young Jonbenet? No chance
This mystery has gone unsolved for years
Fingers have been pointed in all directions
After Jonbenet's death, child pageants drew jeers
Many crowns she won; scant time for celebration
Perhaps her killer will be identified
But time passes; hopes continue to fade
For her death, will anyone ever be tried
Bleached hair, painted nails; she was in first grade
