THREE CLERICS OF THE CHURCH: A Cardinal, a Bishop and a Priest by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

THREE CLERICS OF THE CHURCH: A Cardinal, a Bishop and a Priest




Three blind clerics of the Church
A Cardinal, a Bishop and a Priest
See how they don’t function well
They all run after their own glory and gold
Forgetting about the flock they are supposed to shepherd
And whose souls they are supposed to help save
Who cut out their eyes with a blinding strike
That they don’t see what’s right
in the Sight of God’s Almighty Eyes
Did you ever see such a sad sight in your life
As these three blind clerics of the Church
who don’t see the Truth but only see lies
 
Three deaf clerics of the Church
A Cardinal, a Bishop and a Priest
See how they don’t function well
They all run after their own glory and gold
Forgetting about the people they are supposed to shepherd
And whose souls they are supposed to help save
Who cut off their ears with a deafening sound
That they don’t hear what’s right
in what is Heard in God’s Almighty Ears
Did you ever hear such a sound in your life
As these three deaf clerics of the Church
who don’t hear the Truth but only hear lies
 
Three mute clerics of the Church
A Cardinal, a Bishop and a Priest
See how they don’t function well
They all ran after their own glory and gold
Forgetting about the people they are supposed to shepherd
And whose souls they are supposed to help save
Who cut off their tongue with a muted sound
That they don’t speak about what’s right
In the Eternal Word of God’s Almighty Speech
Did you ever not speak a word in your life
As these three mute clerics of the Church
who don’t speak the Truth but only speak lies
