That some would almost say it's wrong.
There can be room, nevertheless
For some divergent godliness.
The road to peace is arduous,
So I'm not here to make a fuss:
My Church has not lived to these times
By telling Power of its crimes.
Some platitudes, and then I'll run -
For that's what my Christ would have done.
