Father Fortune

Father Sean Fortune
A paddy paedophile
Fucked his way from
Puerile buttock to buttock
For nearly thirty years
A pervert in a spermy cassock.

A background of sex abuse allegations
From his bestial seminary
Naturally qualified him
(In the bishop's eyes at least)
As a youth group leader
Privileged to invite boys to his house
For overnight fun and games.

Parishioners complained
But the Papal Nuncio to Ireland
Shoved it all under his carpet
And after a spot of therapy
(Excuse me laughing like a drain)
Sean was appointed director of an
Irish broadcasting authority.

He later committed suicide
When faced with twenty-nine charges
Of sexual abuse against boys.
As far as I'm aware
Catholics take a dim view of suicide
But what the fuck.

What I say is this:
If he couldn't take
Forty years in clink
Like a man,
He can just bugger off.
 

Author notes

Sadly this is not fiction, but is a true case. A devastating report into sex scandals has recently revealed a 40-year period of abuse in County Wexford which the Roman Catholic Church has covered up. The Irish Prime Minister has promised action but don't hold your breath. It is worth commenting that the word "paedophile" had not been invented at the time of these events. In Irish (and British) law, there was no difference between a man groping and/or fucking little boys and having a loving relationship with another adult man. Probably in Ireland at the time, the former was more normal. And I am NOT being cynical.

If you want to see an utterly brilliant cartoon click on www.apocalypsecartoons.com/fathertucker/ep1/ep1.html but be warned it may offend some people of the Christian persuasion very much. Do NOT complain to me if you are offended - you have been double warned!!

Please APPLAUD if you disapprove of priests screwing children.

    hmm this is a very intense and powerful write. the meaning and emotions that it holds within it is very disturbing and sickening. could be even better if there was some flow or rythme in it to make it more upbeat. although this topic doesnt always need that.
    thanks for entering and goodlcuk

    Yes the content is true, the fervor of the message is clear even the opening leads toward poetry but then...no poem! Where did it go?

    I would love to see this topic handled poetically. So much more powerful.

    a hard subject to write on, as it effects so many people, and is such a dighusting, unbelievebale part of our society.

    I like the way you have approached this, you realy get your point across without having to get graphic or (to) offensive.

    An excellent write, on a subject that should be brought up more, because sweeping it under the carpet just says to those monsters 'it's ok, we'll tidy up your mess you just carry on abusing your position'

    Appaulse coming your way!

    good

    this is a powerful, in your face type of writing that screams to be heard. this is good. this is raw.
    this touches the readers basic instinct of right and wrong and morality and justice. and then to throw in religion, it then encompasses almost every emotion. good job.

    I love it when you stir it up like this. There will be plenty of people who are hugely pissed off by what you've said and want to comment but can't because this is a true story and by attacking you for the way you tell it is a bit to close to defending the actions.

    As usual, excellent.

    An interesting poem. I liked the strong stance on this...you weren't afraid of saying exactly what you thought on the subject (as is right of course). The language was a little too much for me, but that's just me. It told the story well and expressed your anger and horror at it. I agree with what has been said, that it's wrong for any adult to abuse a child...but what I think is distubring with priests is that in many cases the catholic church has deliberately protected the abuser against the law. That's why people single them out with such anger and frustration. Just my thoughts anyway. Well done on the poem

    He had a date with Bubba, death was too good for him. I am getting a few of those comments "what does it matter that he is a priest, child abuse is wrong full stop(.)" how dumb are some people, yes of course it is wrong, and they should be strung up by their tiny little luststicks and dripped slowly of all blood, but you wouldn't leave your son/daughter with the weirdo who hangs around the schoolyard would you? Whereas Sunday school teachers? Vicars etc... People who are not only paid to work with children but abuse their position for 2 minutes of kiddly fiddling in the name of our savior, lil bebbe Jesus. Imagine if he had a fat one in his ass, how would they feel then?

    Well you do put it a little more harsh than I did. But it's disgustingly true though.
    What surprises me is that everybody disapprove, but they don't go figuring WHY it happens like this. Anyway, I'm not an american ostrich putting its head under the sands so they can kiss those things I don't have.

    I know that this goes on, for my father was one, I'm sad to say. Never was a big fan of priests or catholicism anyway. And this just proves my point as to why. I thank you ever so muchly for that.
    Thankies so muchly for entering and may the sweetest of dreams find you! ~D~

    Excellent

    Excellent. The same happens here in Australia - A priest is suspected of molestation so is moved to another, smaller Parish while the smoke clears. The Church is not good at accepting resposibilty when a member of the flock breaches the purpose of the message. This is one of those pieces that desrves attention.

    ugly truth

    Don't do the crime if he can't do the time. Mine Gott, it seems this unseemly problem is everywhere these days. I guess celibacy drives them crazy. You can't fool mother nature.

    Fantastic - nothing wrong with a few home truths being thrown at those oppressing, suppressing, war-mongering, twisted, self-applauding, hypocrtitical Catholics. Henry VIII had the right idea. Sorry if I've offended any Catholics (unlikely as you've got the hide of rhinos) but I'm not in a nicey nice mood today. Brava Ed! xx Rach xx

    Dear "I Love Poetry":
    Either your comment is a very funny joke OR you have commented on the wrong poem OR a little AP gremlin has been at work. The words aren't in the centre of the page, there is neither coffin nor any candles and there's no sorrow involved. Why don't you make amends by applauding?

    Oh my. This is potent stuff Edna. You write with so much power. I know that this is a world wide phenomenon and it is sad that men of the church should do this. I think the Catholic church should do something about this soon - it has become too much now. You have courage writing about this.

    Goodness, what IS it with all of these Catholic priests? (note - I don't care if that's a generalisation, so bugger you all.) Twenty-nine charges? Blimey.

    Very dark, and brutally put. I admire how you can write so frankly, the impact is immense. I think that's what the above comment is attempting to convey also, but I'm not certain.

    Best of luck in the contest, Ms. Sweetlove
