Dark Suits

 They were the men in dark suits
With highly polished shoes and boots
The considered elite, leaders of men
Everything done with a pious amen
Upstanding members of the community
Free from suspicion, lives with impunity
Listening to what they had to say
Like slaves and soldiers having to obey
Their orders, requests, their every whim
Despite their ugliness, despite how grim
They taught to us the way to behave
Wearing clean underwear and cheap aftershave
Exploring ever hole, crack and cavity
Relentless acts of sexual depravity
Secretly done with a wink and a nod
By elected and sanctified men of god
An eight year old boy with new homework
To be the centre piece of a circle jerk
And despite his protests, his pleading and crying
Frightened and bullied he ended up complying
I mean who would believe an eight year old boy
All the church elders’ newest sex toy
After all;
They were the men in dark suits
With highly polished shoes and boots
Men of high standing
Needing no reprimanding
Community respected
Democratically elected
Elders and deacons
Shining light beacons
Blessed by God
All just a fraud
Depraved and cruel
Sexed Sunday school
Children abused
Child like confused
Battered and bruised
Power misused
By the men in dark suits
With high polished boots
