Counterfeit Holy Men

They paraded themselves
as holy men.

They performed masses
and preached homilies

To all their devout parishioners
who imbibed their teachings

as if they were from the Lord’s
very own words.

But they made it all seem
like a deceptive front

when they broke with holiness
and molested children.
