[hometext] => I'll likely have some splanin' to do at the Pearly Gates about this one...
[bodytext] => 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.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
