The Closet-Clergy
whether you like it or not, your priest, your pastor, your minister,
your clergyman 
of whom you hold the utmost regard,
whose very advice
you secretly tell yourself has been inspired by
the lord your god &
maybe even “jesus” himself,
may in fact hold a very 
deep
dark
secret---
your clergyman or woman...

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)---

Every Clergy Is An Ox
every clergy is an ox
wearing heavy yoke
drawing wooden plow
across the farmland
of people’s vibrant sins
endeavoring to weed
the mess in their souls...

Lecture Given By Clergy
Lecture Given By Clergy

We were given a lecture by the clergy,
With much energy exhibited in liturgy,
Done deal;
No appeal,
Who later had been accused of perjury.

Premium Member Sinning Saints Once More
When I was in seminary
my spiritual director advised me to notice,
as had he,
that there are two kinds of:

Clergy

Those who understand their calling
as to coldly forgive
and heatedly challenge
all bedeviled sinners

The lies have all been said,
and payments been arranged.

The depositions all went down behind the scenes.

but somehow the guilty never found

Have you heard of Jesus?
He was very wise,

Walking the Narrow Road
Mankind The Clergy often goad
Into walking The Narrow Road,
The other track not for the fold
As in The Parable Foretold...

But - Gosh - it is a disguised load
To the cycles the path rode,
The walkers feat aiming to mold
Into a pair at home with cold
No knowledge of...

Wonderland
A country in Africa's kaleidoscope of culture,
Unique and blessed, with natural and human riches to nurture.
Roles blur, names defy convention's might,
Husbands are "Baby," sons are "Daddy," in this whimsical sight.

Saturdays are sacred for weddings' joyful sound,
Car keys and iPhones float, pocketless, without a bound.
Relatives rush...
