"Jane Doe Is Our Daughter" by Donna Ashworth

Her future was ripped from dreams full of light

and thrown like garbage into the night

Jane Doe is our daughter and those boys our sons and freedom's off the table

'til they believe the harm they've done

An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind but a future for a future is just justice, it is kind

Pray they learn and tell all that it may not be most men but fifty did not raise that call and this problem spans the world itself it's ripples are not small

Jane Doe is our daughter those boys are our sons forgiveness is a privilege, given when the work is done.

—Donna Ashworth
