Forgive me, father, for I have sinned

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned

A Poem by Guillaume Cougué
"

The Pope goes to confession.

"

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned

I have stripped dead Papa of his fingers

And thrown him like Romulus himself.

'Your sins are forgiven; go in peace.'

 

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned

Many men have died so I may clutch Salem,

I wonder has any land soaked more blood

I wonder could a land be less Holy.

'Your sins are forgiven; go in peace.'

 

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned

I confined them for two centuries

and locked them in in darkness.

'Your sins are forgiven; go in peace.'

 

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned

I have let my force make clean children

dirty

I have told those who need to,

not to protect themselves, and they die.

 

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned.

'Forgive me, Father, for I can not, you have sinned too much,'
