It takes religion
To say they’re sinful. It takes religion To treat them like dirt. It takes religion To shun them from society. It takes religion To discard any worth. It takes religion To starve and neglect them. It takes religion To show them no love. It takes religion To abandon and abuse them. It takes religion And their god from above. To toss them aside like their refuse. To dispose of their bodies in a pit. Ignored, hidden, and forgotten The church is a true hypocrite. 796 children had vanished. “Fallen women” were shunned and shamed. As they built their magnificent cathedrals. And the bones in the pit went unnamed. https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/europe/100000005168975/tuam-ireland-babies.html
