Façade

Façade

A Poem by Ambra Celeste

Façade 

The self-proclaimed God’s followers
Chastity and purity vows penned on Catholic scrolls
Red ink surging from falsely signed oaths 
The crying of babies smothered before it could fill the air
Tiny bodies entombed 
Too fragile to defend themselves from the cowards concealing their sexual acts in confessionals and convents 
Paedophilia hides behind many priests
When they are exposed, the Catholic Church quickly intervenes 
Sending his perverts in regions faraway
Because its dumb followers turn a blind eye
The unlawful privilege given to Catholic priests
The self- proclaimed God’s witnesses
Door to door, preaching the “good news”
Preaching God’s compassion and love
Their arrogant belief won’t tell you when they knock on your door
ONLY they will be saved by God
Trained on how to ask questions and use your words
Sending monthly reports to the headquarters in their countries and New York
Every preaching hour
Every book
Every magazine 
Every study they give
Is this about God’s love or marketing?
Resembling an abusive relationship
Lured in with kindness and love
Until prohibitions day comes
Mind controlling has just began
The power of those who put themselves in charge fuelled by fanatics with no free will
I have no respect for these sins.

I was raised in the Catholic Church but could never believe in what it was about… it always seems money was more important than spirituality… you are spot on about the so called religion and the people who hide be hid their titles for their own greed and depravity.

I'm Catholic and I too am appalled by the horrendous actions of those priests. They should be excommunicated and put in jail. Hopefully more drastic measures will be taken to prevent such terrible crimes from occurring. Children are such precious gifts, and to harm one is a terrible, terrible sin. I hope though, that people will realize that not all priests are bad, and that what those 'priests' did is NOT what the Catholic Church teaches, rather, it is those who are in power.

good rant, needs a bit of editing, but powerful and so damn true...i have written on this topic several times because i was raised catholic and was an altar boy....and it just frightens me what has so often happened and at the same time been shoved under the rug by the church.

hard to feel comfortable with that situation.

Damn powerful! I like a good social commentary and courage to do so...so much corruption and no-one wants to believe it - they don't want to believe that these things happen on their own doorsteps and that fear mongering and mind control are a massive part of it...well voiced x
