The Bitter Atonement of the Catholic Church

There are children spinning away in a tentative madness,

many never escape the corridors of damaged dreams.

There is no answer or resolve for the horror that

beckons every dream.

A child innocence becomes that of silent hate

and unexpected fear-dreams that haunt them

in their waking moments and giving up the ghost.

The Church and state have never mended

the wounds of the frowning scornful Satan

breathing heavily in the face of everything pure.

Whence a man is denied his natural order

how can he maintain a civil order?

Time is drawing near

for the men dressed in the shadows

of the night-to become a perception of failure

and consistent denial.

When night falls, the perception of truth is denied

to the child whom has seen the fire down below.

There is no atonement for the recalled process

of elimination-where the rape of innocence has become

an embarrassment of false teaching,

and Satan's betrayed hunger

is his wrath upon the garden of man's delight.

And in his wrath he will devour the weak at spirit

and enrapture the innocent

in a indecent proposal of our mortality

where death has become our maiden name.
