Being good isn’t always easy <br />No matter how hard I try <br />When he started sweet-talkin’ to me <br />He’d come and tell me everything is all right <br />He’d kiss and tell me everything is all right <br />Can I get away again tonight? <br /> <br />The only one who could ever reach me <br />Was the son of a preacher man <br />The only boy who could ever teach me <br />Was the son of a preacher man <br />Yes he was, he was, lord knows he was <br /> <br />The above is what Dusty Springfield sang, <br />The above title is what Maury Povich brings, <br />The sordid story this writing is based on comes to us from Decatur, Georgia, <br /> <br />(DECATUR, Ga. (Nov.19) - The 80-year-old leader of a suburban Atlanta megachurch is at the center of a sex scandal of biblical dimensions: He slept with his brother's wife and fathered a child by her……) <br /> <br />Sex scandals have rocked the Bible, <br />Judah is one, <br />Psalms aren’t the only act David sings, <br />David did play a “G” string on his harp and others as well, <br />Bathsheba, the lady who rocked David, is the one, <br />No doubt Swaggert and numerous priests did someone, <br />Injustice <br />That is biblically pathetic. <br />So have the holy men do what they studied to do, <br />Have illicit sex, with their daughters, <br />brothers’ wives, <br />prostitutes, <br />It’s all there in the good book, <br />Hardly, am I sympathetic. <br />I am for the fallen brethren, <br />Because by their standards I am not all that bad, <br />Not to play their final judge, <br />I am just being prophetic. <br /> <br />(11-20-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-da-baby-daddy/
