Unforgiven
he’s revered
at church
by the pastor
and the congregation
whole generations
has a cross
in his yard
and designated awards
and accolades
and ceremonial gestures
of legacy
and so on
and so forth
wherever he goes
somebody knows him
who he is
but do they
really
know him
not even his family
does
he continues on
unscathed
would never admit
any wrongdoing
nobody would ever believe
he was ever wrong
he himself believes
he did no wrong
but the God
he professes to
knows
that grooming
a teenage girl
for sex
is dead
wrong
