Poem
Within the walls of the catholic church the rape of innocence behind the preachers altar, holy robes discarded altar boys sodomized by the righteous absolute power corrupted by soldiers of God The victims of the roman collar implore the clergy to confess how now to compensate for a life time of mental torment, the hopeful lobotomised in youth decades of hidden truth Prayers of forgiveness by those who defile are misdirected, the faithful no longer rally in droves white robes blackened by scandal such an unspeakable tangle of faith and innocence angers my restrain I struggle to remain tame while confronted by such hypocrisy that preaches here in front of me from the same book that would send his guilty soul to hell, dispelled my belief a preacher that became a thief, where now to aim for eternal relief Antithesis cause and effect immoral decisions designed to reflect, fingers pointed disappointed by them the blessed be anointed Burn head in hands failing to understand, a tourist amongst the purist, faith that stands in a broken line Belief left by faith at the garden gate of Gethsemane, the ever after knows thy enemy, suffer little children who come unto thee Papal temples laden with faith and fortune above law and accountability, all within failing to practice what they preach, a leech sucking innocence from its prey the children that we cradle the white collar label fable, swept under the doctrine table
