about

Savile/Harris — In January 2013, a joint report by the NSPCC and Metropolitan Police stated that 450 people had made complaints against TV and radio personality Jimmy Savile, with the period of alleged abuse stretching from 1955 to 2009 and the ages of the complainants at the time of the assaults ranging from 8 to 47. In 2014, at the age of 84, cartoonist and entertainer Rolf Harris was jailed for 5 years and 9 months on twelve counts of indecent assault on four teenage females during the 1970s and 1980s.

lyrics

Savile Harris

how suddenly out from under the smother blanket
years of buried molestation
old men, here the truth seeping out like rancid milk

we always knew
something didn't ring well, this desire stifle
the flesh assassinator church, and the state of it

and now young bodies who have taken a lifetime
to name and give voice; the courage it took
to never say a word and now say something
unlocking, reliving it in the tissues, are speaking;

brave now you like the wind
opening the lie vaults, giving of your strength
unfolding cramped wings

that this whole show break trap
that in every momentary beat
we might begin to foster
some deep, communal repair
