Confession of the confession wall

"forgive me father for I have sinned"
thats how the conversation begins
every time a different voice in this end
usually it ends with "I absolve you from your sins"

I'm like the bridge carrying the sins to be cleansed
passing these disgusting words to the ears of the man
the man who claims he has the power to cleanse
and to give a better conscience till they come back again

how could you call it a sin he stole it to fed his son
she missed the church because she was working all night
he hit him because he was bullied by that moron
getting pregnant isn't a sin if you used a condom, right?

what i didn't understand is the difference
the difference between the priest and the sinner
for me they are both just flesh and bones
one is a talker and the other is a good listener

I used to admire the priest's christianity
and how he bear this disgust of the human mind
then I lost the little respect I had for humanity
the day the voice of the listener switched the side

amen !
