Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe


Children deserve a nice childhood because they are innocent They don't deserve to be violated by a devious miscreant This is the abuse of the highest power of a God-fearing authority By someone who preaches in Church on Sunday about God and morality You were a Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe It's unbelievable to me that this how low you would go You were a Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe' Acting like you were Heaven Sent but it's to Hell you should go Preying on the innocent and now they are permanently damaged Standing up to you and your power may take more strength than they can manage This is such an ugly and unfortunate abuse of power They are washing off the filth of your unholy touch in the shower for hours You were a Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe It's unbelievable that is how low you would go You were a Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe Acting like you were Heaven Sent but it's to Hell you should go An abuse of power but even worse, a violation of trust It's not bad enough that you look, you also had to touch Ripping wounds in them that will never heal and run so deep Why didn't anyone see earlier that you were such a God-Awful creep You were a Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe It's unbelievable to me that this is how low you would go You were a Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe Acting like you were Heaven Sent but it's to Hell you should go Chris Hansen really needs to tell you to have a seat He needs to interrogate you and have you taken away by the police Somehow in your sick mind, you thought that all of this was okay While in order to satisfy your sick fantasies, a child's innocence is taken away You were a Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe It's unbelievable to me that this is how low you would go You were a Snake In A Silk Pastors Robe Acting like you were Heaven Sent but it's to Hell you should go From Broken and Burned Bridges Copyright 2020 Resisting Distress Publishing
