Today I accidentally saw a preview of; The News;
a disabled sixteen-year-old girl, a victim of abuse

The accused is a priest. A round man in a long black cassock
And a snip view from mass of another priest plays shortly
My face is turning green as my mood turns blue
He says he has a holy feeling, that the accusations aren’t true.
A cult; /kʌlt/ noun
‘a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object.’
We show our devotion, we kneel and give thanks
He applies lotion, looks at a child and wanks.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and to the respect of those beliefs.
My belief is that no human is superior to another human.
A priest is only a man.
And this man in the long black cassock had a plan.
And this child will remain terrorized forever.
People should be held accountable for their actions.
Women’s lives are not to be of similar value to male satisfactions.
An article on ‘The year of ‘Times Up’ and ‘Me Too’ movements has been a dangerous year for men.’
Every year from the beginning of time has been a dangerous year for a woman.
Innocent men are not in danger.
I was sexualised and assaulted at the age of eleven. #MeToo
I wasn’t wearing a short skirt. I wasn’t drunk. I wasn’t provocative.
I was playing chase.
For years after that game of chase
I had nightmares featuring his face
This is not your place to say this year is dangerous, for men.
Times Up

Thank you very much.
Amazed at how you’ve worded this! I too commend you for speaking up on a subject such as this as this seems to be going on way too often. Great job on this.
Thank you, I wanted to contribute for a long time to these movements but websites like Poetfreak seem to be the only ones that I manage to voice my opinions on.
Yes, powerful. and absolutely true.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
