Coaches and Catholic Clergy

as the kids begin to come out 
again
to declare the violation of their innocence to the world 
so that finally these pompous pedophiliac pederasts
can be dragged out of their lairs in order to face the world for 
what they are
(not what they claim to be)---
the coaches twitch like the catholic clergy,
presently pissing their practice pants &
“holy” getups
in hopes that they will not be the next on the
chopping block---
meanwhile,
another collective gasp is heard by those who never thought for a minute that such 
hostile homophobia 
which comes hand in hand within the realm of
organized sports & organized religion
could possibly be a cover-up 
for what was really brewing 
just beneath the surface---
one has to wonder just how many 
freudian slips it takes
to get to the center of a 
child molester.
