Church Leaders and Victims
"Church Victims Dumpster" cartoon by David Hayward
OWN THIS CARTOON
(*** I wrote this explicit poem and realized by the end of it that I wasn't just writing about a man's assault of a girl, but about how the church often treats its victims. I'm also confident that some people will be more offended by this cartoon and these words than by the actual act. Share if you dare.)
How's My Cry Heard?
your church preached i'm victor
not your victim with scars
i thought i'd be safe
on that road in your car
you made me suck you
while you sucked out my life
then threw me aside
as you rose to the heights
i just have my voice
that will help me to stand
but how's my cry heard
over the praise of your fans?
