Healing Abuse


It is time for an appeal.
We need help and methods to heal
the souls – hurt by the touch
of religious people so much.

For those abused by a priest
there is no inner peace,
there is no commission
to fight for their recognition.

The pain is getting tougher,
the church’s tone much rougher
if these people tell how much they suffer.

The word of God
is turned around as odd
when authorities agreed
to hide their deed
of terrible abuse
and children’s misuse.

We must stand up united
and help those people to fight it.
Let us mend their pain -
tell the story over and over again.

Show them that their not alone
and that the church leaders have grown
to be helpful and wise.
Let them open their eyes:
The celibacy must be dropped
so that abuse can be stopped.

And those guilty of abuse
can no longer find an excuse.

Let’s put our voices together
so the stories exchanged will never
end, but will be heard
about what has occurred.
Together we will become strong,
punish the people who have done us so wrong.

Light up the dark
by setting the spark
of healing and hope –
that will even touch the heart of the Pope.

Start church life and religion anew
and save others from what we have gone through.
