Will you cry for them
When they commit sin
The deadliest one
Taking their own life?
Will you think about
You so raping them
Of body and mind
For your damn pleasure?
Will you ask for forgiveness
And be absolved of your sins
By hypocritical oath
Of the damned lost and found church
I am so hoping this Pope cleans house. I am not a Catholic but he has won my respect- -now let's see how he does when every cardinal in the place will probably he against drastic reform... Your poem has righteous fire in its eyes, my friend, it should be used to scorch a bunch of cardinal feathers. Great poem. 10++++++++++++++++++++++
Susan, I too have great respect for this pope! He is like no other. If anyone can clean house, it's him. Your scorch line is a classic. Love it! Thank you so much for believing that the poem is great.
This is unforgivable, more so when the sinners belong to the revered Roman Catholic order. They have broken the trust of all followers of the faith. We can listen to the cries of those victimised. Thanks, Richard.
