This poem is really difficult to read due to the font you've used. I also felt it quite disrespectful and vulgar. Why tar every man with the same brush? I don't think it's appropriate.PM

    Excellent ... well it happens to be a perfect free verse, so there you go, and its actually a satire poem so why not tar them all with the same brush ...

All I can say, it's shameful and a violation of trust. Priests cannot function if not trustworthy. A daring piece of work. No edits or adjustments necessary.

An interesting character study here, particularly in the context of modern times and the many scandals that have been besetting the churches and their priests for abuses that keep rearing up their ugly heads.

Your poem sets the scenery of the catholic church and its priests (the imagery is superb).

Your poem covers a topic that is controversial right now (this poem is reminder of the controversy).

Thank you for sharing.

Seems to me as a very clever raised finger towards some things happening within religion, hypocrisy, crime...and as an appeal for people to think about it.

It is a sad thing when one who has given himself to God, violates the youth's trust. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.
