In the Name of God*

They kill in the name of God,
they steal in the name of God.
They cheat in the name of God,
and beat in the name of God.
They defame, they distort.
They bribe, they extort.
They molest, they abuse.
They use any excuse
to cover the truth.
They don't question a thing,
they just do as they're taught.
They have no remorse,
no second thoughts.
They don't care to find out,
they don't have any doubt -
that everything's just in the name of God.
Thou shall always trust the Almighty God.

*A poem about the Catholic church and the abuse of children.
