This is definitely not a happy subject. It is meant to evoke some emotion or even anger and disgust that child abuse is so rampant in all areas of our communities and World.

Now THAT is the truth.
It is every where as is the hypocrisy that seems to be the main point of your work.

But as it stands right your work singles out the church as the center for both these problems.

You are obviously a highly skilled writer and I appreciate your skill and passion.

I just think your work feeds the current cultural bias that the Christian Church is fair game for any and all comments. I'm sure that is NOT what you want. Change your work to a man praying on the front row at the local mosque and then run for cover.

I pray for the total success of your poem in making us further aware of hypocrisy and child abuse and I pray that you might find a way to do this in a way that does not picture the church as the only place this happens.

Peace out....
