Never Trust People Who Protect a Pedophile

poem/song about systematic abuse that happens in churches

By CT IdlehousePublished about 20 hours ago 2 min read

Here is the church,

Here is the steeple,

Here is the pastor

And his new vehicle.

Don't you worry,

He didn't use the tithes...

No, those are being used

To pay off his ex-wife

And the few cases

Of indecent exposure

But don't you dare listen

To all the whores and sinners.

That 12-year-old girl

Was unstable and a liar.

Don't be asking no questions

Why that house caught fire.

/

Deny, attack, reverse victimize...

She was blamed for not keeping it quiet.

So, don't you ask me why I don't believe your lies...

Because you'll believe a rapist over a child.

/

Bow your heads to pray,

Repent all your sins away.

Meanwhile, she lost everything

Because men like you are vile.

Your churches are poisonous,

These clergy men lecherous,

I'll never trust people

Who protect a pedophile.

/

Here is the church

Here is the office

He has photos on his PC

Of all his flock's children.

You'd made amazed

At what AI can do now.

He shares all the photos

With fathers in the loop now.

I wish there was a punishment

Worse enough for these fuck ass men.

Prison makes them worse--

We need something permanent.

Excuse me, Mr. Reverend,

I need to make confession.

I have a knife behind my back,

And it has your name on it.

/

Deny, attack, reverse victimize...

Not funny when the hand's between your thighs.

Not funny when you're the one screaming and crying.

Not funny when you're the one seconds away from dying.

/

Bow your heads to pray,

Repent all your sins away.

Meanwhile, she lost everything

Because men like you are vile.

Your churches are poisonous,

These clergy men lecherous,

I'll never trust people

Who protect a pedophile.

/

Do you really have no morals

Than what a book teaches?

You'll follow Old Testament

But nothing said by Jesus.

How the fuck did you miss it

It's in fucking bold red text

You really suck at your religion

When you don't listen to one who started it.

I'm a fucking atheist

And I'm more Christian than you.

I know that doing evil shit to children

Is bad without a book to prove its true.

When your churches are full of snakes

And you blame women for the bites

That tells me all I need to know

For which side you're gonna fight.

Honestly, if you support the chomos,

You should join them in the grave.

Because that's the only place and only way

These children will ever be safe.

/

Bow your heads to pray,

Repent all your sins away.

Meanwhile, she lost everything

Because men like you are vile.

Your churches are poisonous,

These clergy men lecherous,

I'll never trust people

Who protect a pedophile.

    This makes me think of that picture that was circulating of trump in the Oval Office with like a crowd of “religious leaders” putting their hands on his shoulders and praying to bless him. Made me want to vomit.
