You are our teacher, our mentor, our confessor
Unfairly tainted o'er the sins of the few
Yet your brotherhood may never recover
From the misdeeds of those miscreant few
You! And you know who you are!
We, the laity indict you
But what use are feather and tar
When our lives are broken in two?
You walk among us, enjoying our trust
And callously cripple our belief
Feeding on our young sates your lust
Some name you pederast and thief
Oh! You deceiver!
You defiler of the innocent!
You destroyer!
You rapacious beast!
You hypocrite!
You priest!
- Stoney
Ah! The brotherhood...what can I say about this one. I actually got up out of bed to write this one after hearing on
the news about another priest who broke his trust and molested one of his young parishioners.
I have a real problem with hypocrites who mouth pious platitudes and set themselves up as having the right to tell us how to conduct our lives, and then turn around and betray their sacred trust.
This one wasn't directed only at priests; it's aimed at any professional who crosses the line.
