An Ex Alter Boy's Quick Witted Letter to the Catholic Church

Dear father,

Oh father

If that be your 'name' 

'Your kingdom come'

'Thy SHALL be done'

But you are the one to blame

 

You are the cause of all this infamous fame

 

The cause of all this burning pain

 

You tarnished my bible

Twisted my friends

Cursed my children

But that isn't the end

 

Countless others felt your wrath

And travelled down this sinful path

 

You ruined innocence

 

You pleaded and begged

With the 'head' of the 'steeple'

 

You lied through your teeth

Claimed to be 'good for the people'

 

Then the 'man'

With the toothy mouthed smile

Clouded their heads

Got to stay for a while

 

Ruined more lives

Caused more pain

Begged for forgiveness

 

The routine was the same

 

The church covered up

Because you were so 'good'

'The best they have had in years'

If only they understood

 

You lied and lied

Like a good convict always should

 

 

Father,

Oh father,

Don't deny the facts

You've made me so dark

There is no going back

 

Father, I must do this

I hope you truly forgive

For there is no escaping 

What you did

 

When you open this

You will see all of your lies

 

Your pathetic life

Flash before your very eyes

 

You probably won't be alive long enough

To finish this letter

 

But maybe that will be

For the better

 

Father oh father

For I have sinned

Father forgive me

I have no will to live

 

Father oh father

Have a nice time in hell,

Very 

TRULY yours,

'Shh, Don't Tell'

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hello,

It has been quite a while.

It is currently 11:30 P.M. and I have school in the morning.

I couldn't sleep so I thought, 'what the heck! I'm gonna post a poem that I wrote today in math class!'

Although I say that all of my poetry is things that have happened to me, I am OBVIOUSLY not an alter boy, so maybe try to find a deeper meaning.

I think I am going to TRY to sleep now.

Thank you SO much for reading everyone! Your reads and support mean the absolute world to me.

Comment if you liked or maybe would change a few things. I am oh so open to suggestion. 

I have to give this site so much credit for my sudden blossoming in poetry.

I came here looking for a place to vent.

It is so much more now.

Thank you, EVERYONE. 

Thank you for absolutely everything.

As always, Enjoy.

Goodnight.
