Church Protection

Representing God is to stand tall
It’s what separates priests from us all
So when someone standing for God and good
Commits offences upon innocent ones as they could
It destroys the Church and faith suffers too
The question that’s left is what we now do

George Pell was convicted of historical sexual offences 
And we are left to ponder how the Church erects fences
So that they are able to protect their own on the inside 
Where paedophiles are allowed to safely abide
For it doesn’t matter what organisation you are in
You shouldn’t be protected when committing sin.
