Hang Your Heads in Shame.
People tell me and write that God is the sole protector of all.
The world should open their hearts wide, hear his loving call.
That he alone is responsible for all the decency found in man.
Yet he does not take responsibility of any of the evil and bad.
In most religions people only see what they ever want to see.
Do not except anything that contradicts in what they believe.
Their convenient blind eye turned at the horrors of the world.
Once again we have preacher man keeping secrets on hold.
In all religions, faiths, denominations, societies and cultures.
There have always been in the church the children’s vultures.
Access to an endless line of children from which to choose.
Were under the cover of their God these children they abuse.
This is not hot press, groundbreaking earth-shattering news.
It has gone on for decades and all the time churches knew.
Occasionally the world will try to convince us that they care.
Most of the time they collectively denied the abuse is there.
From believers, congregation through to the upper echelons.
The constant denial to accept the Preacher could do wrong.
Some undeniable facts which have categorically been shown.
Appears abusing children is something the church condones.
Young souls and innocence taken by the evil preacher hand.
Abused by what they believe is another religious caring man.
Childhood stolen, they are sent to a lifetime shame and pain.
Yet your Holy church allows it to happen time and time again.
Even today after so many victims over so many abusive years.
Little understanding and no compassion for the children's fears.
Denial and self-protection are the only thing on their agenda.
No attempt to acknowledge the crimes of the child offenders.
Promotions made, lies told, payments made, and prayers sold.
For Decades under your churches protection the abuse grows.
Oscar performances to the media, in the remorse they all have.
Yet no honest acceptance of the knowledge we know they had.
We the non-believer cannot put an end to all the child abuse.
It needs followers, congregations in the world to finally choose.
Go to their own houses of faith and demand the abuse to stop.
For each and every victim, kneel and say a prayer to their God.
When as a young innocent child, you are not safe in holy hands.
If you live in constant fear of abuse from the old preacher man.
Where is left safe for all the young children to continue to thrive.
Where in safety are they able to fulfil their potential young lives.
So stop denying, lying, ignoring, pretending and stop protecting.
You and only you can put a stop to the continued child offending.
Demand your church remove the bad apples from the holy cart.
So, in our life every child can travel on a peaceful and safer path.
To all the ignorant, abusers and protectors who are all to blame.
You should kneel before your God and hang your head in shame.

- Comment from author about the poem: Please be aware this is about Child abuse and religion, when i was a child i was in care and after leaving one home, i was placed in this particular home on a temporary basis until they found a more suitable home for me. I was there for 3 months ( i am C&E so do not know why i was sent to Catholic home) and i was there over a Christmas period. Out of all the things i witnessed and experienced in the care system this place was the worse and had the most lasting effect on me. I have written this piece because all these decades later it is still going on worldwide, and is still being covered up. I understand it is not an easy thing to read about, but it is not an easy thing to experience either. I have tried to write it in a calm and controlled manner and not let my emotions run all over it. I thank you for your understanding.
