Poems - THE PATRIARCH

THE PATRIARCH

by mikbrady

He came to you, the Patriarch
to tell, what he'd seen in the shower
A child abused in front of his eyes
please help him, you are “The Power”

A blind eye turned, years roll on,
the school, before the law
They looked up to the Patriarch,
the one they called Joe Pa

You should have been their guardian
protection, was a must
But you let evil roam the grounds
use children for his lust
 
You didn't lift a finger,
 to halt the evil one
 Would you have held your silence Joe,
 if he'd showered with your Son?

Very powerful write. The ending is one of the best I've read.
