God desecrates the Church with disrepute;

Divine destruction utterly complete!

Priest-pedophiles, the native children cheat;

deliberate blindness thought to be astute.

God’s foolishness is greater than our smarts!

Our stealthy leaders to injustice lead

vow to oppose with vigour, native need.

The victims’ worth we weighed not with our hearts.

And more: the bliss that signifies Christ’s love

is now the battle ground of holy hate

of rules - a thicket; who may be one’s mate

or where one may, with what appendage, shove.

For five and twenty million, sold our soul!

Mind not! God’s providence is in control.

 

(The Indian Residential Agreement, signed by every Anglican diocese, requires signatories to “oppose with vigour” any attempt by native people to obtain redress from the courts for loss of culture and language, for which the Government of Canada was willing to cap Church restitution for sexual abuse to only $25 million.)
