Why?

It’s all such a long time ago now
and those few who knew
those who were to blame
are all long dead
and those childhood memories
of catechismal…unpleasantries
have long been locked away
and yet….yet even now
a grown man, strong, growing grey in beard
I cannot pass a priest
with unclenched fists.

Some things never heal. - A fine political write  - Lady A
