Congregation Disintegration

 I never wrote

About the heartbreak

He caused our church.

About the heartbreak

He caused me.

 

Woman after woman

Came forward and said

"Me too."

It became

Undeniable

They were telling

The truth.

 

He stepped down

As the women came up,

Two of the

Best pastors

Taking his place.

 

Still,

He never apologized

To the women

He caused so

Much pain.

He just...

Disappeared.

 

Then more came.

One pastor felt

Too sick

To teach,

Disgusted

By what his mentor

Had done.

 

A family meeting

Of the congregation

Was called

And it was declared

Two of the

Best pastors

Stepped down

After more allegations

Arose.

They declared

A clean slate.

Start from

Scratch,

Build from the

Bottom up.

 

The elder board resigned

And a new wave

Came in.

A new pastor

Was found,

But

People walked

Away.
