Ed- The word "perfect" that was used here, first by Sam, then by me, was put in quotes to not really mean "perfect" but rather someone appearing to be perfect...such as the man I speak of in this writing.
I am a churchgoer/Christian/believer in Jesus Christ. With that said, this is a song about a man in church (could have been a man in a school setting, coach of a team...etc.) I wrote this based on my personal experience only.
I knew it was a bit controversial because of the subject matter. I can't think of a way to make child molestation/abuse sound 'pretty' and don't really want to.
I would love to be able to bring awareness to it. I believe that atleast 50% of child abuse cases could be prevented with more vigilence from the people in the community and in families.
This writing was not intended to be about the people that don't abuse children. It is about those that do.
I don't feel you attacked me in anyway. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I respect your opinion and appreciate your input.
Take care, vicki
