Shame

A nun was raped, and the lawmen gaped;
Theres talk of culture, yet the west is aped. 
Churches were torched, while a nation watched; 
The rest of the world gave a response all botched. 
Perpetrators of this, have a faith worth no name, 
For their country men this was just like a game. 
With inhuman zest, take the best from the west, 
Pretend nothing happened, it was done in pure jest. 
Is it no wonder that going down under, 
Can turn out to be such an asinine blunder. 
Watch out for those with their tongue in cheek, 
Wolves in sheeps clothing, pretending they’re meek. 
Silently hiding and stealing the cream, 
Turning the west into a temporary dream. 
Some people won’t change, they’ll still be the same; 
A pity indeed, it brings global shame. 

Prince Freakasso(Artist & Poet)

Poised poem indeed. Your country adored the wisdom of Budha and should continue to appreciate Budha though India house lots of christian indians. When most poeple appreciate reading the Psalms they get enlightened unlike the shallow stupidest who follow a blind feature to a deadly hole away from angels. It is smart to appreciate authentic western poetry in english or other languages since the earth is rich with our Lord's handmade. Thank you for your comment on my poem.
