Shadows of Betrayal

Title: Shadows of Betrayal

In a sacred place of solace, he stood so tall,
A shepherd of souls, answering heaven’s call,
Yet within his heart dwelled a secret so grim,
A betrayal of trust, inflicted on the innocent with sin.

Confession, a sanctuary for the lost and broken,
But for him, a stage where vile desires had awoken,
With each whispered plea for redemption and peace,
He sought only to satisfy his twisted need to appease.

The echoes of prayers now tainted by his disgrace,
The faithful left shattered, their faith misplaced,
In the depths of darkness, he roamed without remorse,
Exploiting sacred vows, steering others off course.

A wolf in shepherd’s clothing, his mask torn away,
Revealing a monster lurking beneath the display,
For in his hands, the sacrament was tarnished,
His actions forever etched, never to be banished.

Now the truth unveiled, the congregation mourns,
Betrayed by a man they once held dear, adorned,
But amidst this despair, a glimmer of light,
Justice will prevail, exposing his wicked plight.
