Jude Jordan

As a ward of the State of Victoria no respect to her was shown And the story of her tragic life is becoming well known Violated by her so called mentors even before she was a teen Some who profess to be men of God are morally unclean. In the life story of Jude Jordan there is sorrow and heart break And three months short off of her sixtieth birthday her own life she did take Her innocence was stolen from her in such a brutal way But for those who do such awful things their price is huge to pay. One might say of Jude Jordan that she did not have a fair go A childhood of physical and sexual abuse she only was to know The sapling damaged by the wind grows into a stunted tree And of her traumas of her past poor Jude was never free. A happy and carefree childhood she was not to enjoy And she could not lead a normal life though quite hard she did try And people like her do not have happy memories to recall And there was never such a thing as a fair go for all. The circumstances of one's birth their future can decide And any chance of life's success to young Jude was denied Her past she could not put behind her though hard enough she tried And the uphill climb for her too tough she fell by the wayside. Her so called mentors preyed on her they were callous and cold And the life story of Jude Jordan is one that should be told If there is a life hereafter she is in a better place Whilst all of those who had violated her are forever in disgrace.
