Cardinal Pell, Burn in Hell
Cardinal Pell, Burn in Hell
Preamble
Prisoners regard child sex abusers as lowest of the low. Scum. Many have children of their own. Due to wide publicity he will not be able to come in under the guise of say a 'thief'. Other prisoners will know or soon discover his crime. Isolation will be for his own protection. Despite this, Pell's time in prison will not be easy.
Our Father who art now in prison
Cardinal George Pell is Thy name
You sexually abused innocent choirboys
To the Catholic Church you brought great shame
Five charges in total laid against you
Unanimous guilty verdicts were given
Your lawyers have agreed that the judge now
Can only give a sentence of prison
In the Catholic Church you were the third
Most powerful Catholic person in the world
But your sins they have finally caught up with you
To the public they've now been revealed
“Believe me I've done no wrongdoing
These things you say did not occur
These allegations are products of fantasy
You're firing at me nasty slurs”
You're lawyers said you were escorted
By other priests all of the time
And therefore impossible for choirboys
To slip by un-noticed for crime
(Argument did not work...)
First night in the jail you'll be strip-searched
A jumpsuit will replace your robes (ex)
High profile will place you in isolation
Your cell just identified as 'X'
From your cell you will walk same route daily
Under guard, to a small high-walled yard
For an hour's worth of exercise daily
Then back to your cell, under guard
Your cash flow will reduce to 140
Dollars a month for to spend
In the canteen and on monitored phone calls
Quite a monetary fall to descend
Morals: Beware your sins will find you out
No man is above the law

I agree with Keith, the victims will never escape from their private prison.
I love the way this poem can be read to the 'tune' of the 'Pater Noster'
I much prefer your version.
