They gave their lives to God
these mortal men of flesh and blood.
Vowing a life of celibacy,
there would be, for them, no intimacy.
But years of lies, cover-ups and deceit
no longer hid the sins of un-God-ly priests.
Displayed across every paper and TV screen,
the stories unveiled like some movie scene.
Countless victims, their faces shown,
wanted their injustices to be known.
In print, film and radio waves,
they couldn’t help but hoped to save
the kids now growing up in
in the catholic faith.
