Silence!

My vicar sexually assaulted me.
The Bishop didn’t care.
‘If you are going to do things like that, Reverend,
Then do it over there!
Do it in the dark
In the shadows
Where there’s no-one to see
Where no-one will believe a woman instead of you and ME!
I am the Bishop! You are my priest!
The vulnerable of our flock
Are where we can both feast.
They will not shout above us.
We are beyond reproach
We are the Leaders of the church
She might as well be a ghost.’
