fissures, an earthquake
like a windshield cracked
ripples on a pond...
never-ending, endless...
 
an explosion, shrapnel,
carried into the future...
abuse a cancer
planted in our souls...
 
needing light, love,
hope, disinfectant,
letting air into
every open wound...
 
only in transparency,
in being brutally honest...
poison wicked of power...
Only then can we be healed...

a #cult of #depravity – v3 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #humility #love #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverup #MeTooMovement #children #innocents

We have become complicit,
complacent in our silence
The evil of these predators
has remained unchecked...
The justice that is required
has been sealed in files...
Silence of the victims, sorrow,
has been purchased with blood...
 
Evil is endemic, pervasive,
Satans are walking with us...
Victims numb with secrets...
a New Babylon, perversion,
depraved indifference, evil,
gathering power, prestige,
abusing children, destroying
all for their satanic lust...
 
They live by the flesh, desires
immoral, not fearing judgment,
oligarchs, the wealthy, politicians,
cloaked in our culture
where all sins are hidden...
silence of the files, agreements,
the cruelty of their power -
immune to justice...
 
A cult of depravity, pervasive,
poison within our body
metastasized and growing
no reconning, no trials,
hidden in the files,
allowed for a season...
The corruption of our culture
is on vivid display...
 
God, in His timing,
will stop this stain, this violence,
The powerful exposed as evil,
God, in His timing,
will mete out justice.
Their evil is being revealed
before the harsh culling...

We betray Christ’s commandment,
We are timid, afraid, silent,
We ignore their great evil
When we are called by Jesus
to protect the children, the survivors,
to stand with them, to act…
 
We must protect the children,
The greatest in heaven…
innocent children, the victims,
now survivors, the women and men,
against this evil, this terror,
power, rape on this earth…
 
We fail these innocents,
The greatest in heaven…
allowing the rich and powerful
to destroy their childhood
to alter their life’s path, taking their
innocence, their precious lives…
 
Where are the Christians?
Where are our religious leaders,
those with the power to act, to speak,
We are failing these children…
Epstein’s victims, his survivors are
still crying out, Justice!…

Where are the Christians
our religious leaders, pastors…
Are they complicit, complacent,
Are they fearful, too afraid to speak…
Who is in the fight, standing with the victims,
marching, advocating, speaking out
for the survivors of his abuse…
 
Where are the Christians
the leaders of the faith
preaching to protect children,
standing with his victims
those seeking justice, finally…
The rich and powerful
getting away with rape…
 
Where are the Christians
the bishops, the disciples,
in the halls of power, in Congress,
from their pulpits on Sundays,
demanding truth, transparency…
Evil yet protected, silence,
even from in the grave…
 
Where are the Christians
our leaders in the vanguard
standing with the girls,
the Epstein survivors,
the women abused, silenced,
their innocence taken from them
by the rich and powerful…

I asked Google, "How many Christian leaders who endorsed Trump have spoken out about Epstein?"

And the answer was chilling...

"AI Overview

Based on information available up to late 2025, while an overwhelming majority of white evangelical leaders who endorsed Donald Trump have remained loyal and largely silent regarding his connections to the Jeffrey Epstein files, some have taken actions ranging from defense to cautious warnings. 

Here is a breakdown of how certain Christian leaders who endorsed Trump have handled the Epstein controversy:

Lance Wallnau (Influential NAR leader/Trump defender): Has been vocal in his defense of Trump regarding the Epstein issues. In July 2025, Wallnau told his followers he believed Trump was acting in the best interest of the country by not releasing the files, further suggesting that, for the MAGA-religious base, the Epstein affair was a "ruse" by opponents.

Tony Perkins (Family Research Council President): In November 2025, Perkins published an op-ed cautioning the Trump administration against a "cover-up" regarding the Epstein files, warning that such actions could hurt the administration politically, though this was framed as a concern over transparency rather than a direct condemnation of Trump.

General Evangelical Leaders: Many key evangelical leaders who previously formed Trump's advisory board have maintained a policy of silence or deflection, with some arguing that sexual allegations against Trump are irrelevant compared to his political accomplishments and judicial appointments. 

Key Trends in Reaction:

Unwavering Support: Most evangelical leaders have continued to support Trump despite the allegations.

Conspiracy Theories: Many in the MAGA-aligned evangelical camp have promoted the idea that the Epstein investigations are political attacks rather than legitimate concerns.

Rising Concern from Intellectuals: Some, such as Christianity Today, have called for the release of the files, but this is often in conflict with the views of the political leadership backing Trump. 

In summary, out of the major, public-facing Christian leaders who endorsed Trump, very few have spoken out critically on the Epstein issue; most have either stayed silent or defended him, with a rare exception urging transparency to avoid a "cover-up"."

#Protect the #children – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #relationships #childlike #humility #love #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverup #MeTooMovement #children #innocents

We are failing Christ’s commandment,
We are ignoring their great evil
We are silent, timid,
when we are called by Jesus
to stand with them, to act…
 
We must protect the children,
innocent children, the victims,
The greatest in heaven
against this evil, this terror,
rape on this earth…
 
We fail these innocents,
The greatest in heaven,
allowing the rich and powerful
to destroy their childhood
their precious lives…
 
Where are the Christians?
Where are our leaders?
We are failing these children…
Epstein’s victims are
still crying out, Justice!…

We were not safe #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #relationships #childlike #humility #love #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverup #MeTooMovement

Who would protect us
rules of the jungle
might making right
in a land of bullies
our agency stripped
taken from us…
 
We were not safe
on that playground
within the classrooms
in the lunch line
bullies were in control
of that sacred space…
 
“Stand up to the bullies”,
advice we were given
but authority was missing
rules of the jungle
engendering anger
a need for control…

Where are the Christians
our religious leaders
Who is in the fight, advocating,
for the survivors of his abuse…
 
Where are the Christians
standing with his victims
The rich and powerful
getting away with rape…
 
Where are the Christians
demanding truth, transparency,
Evil yet protected
even in the grave…
 
Where are the Christians
standing with the girls,
the women abused, silenced,
by the rich and powerful…

They could be your wife, your daughter, or your granddaughter #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverup #MeToo

If you listen to the words of the Epstein survivors,

Decades of pain that they each have carried,
Breaking their silence, their secrets,
bearing their scars, their wounds,
Shame for the sin done against them
when they were all innocent victims,
of the unchecked evil of powerful men…

You may not know that same shame is standing beside you,
Your wife, your daughter, your granddaughter,
Victims of abuse unspoken in their past, their youth,
Buried in hearts sin made silent, vigilant, guarded…
Someone you love may have been abused, is in pain,
Their hearts have kept them silent, crying secretly -
They feel shame for sins others committed...

They could be your wife, your daughter, or your granddaughter
coming out into the open, speaking aloud their pain,
other women you know in life, your colleagues in Congress
carrying the same scars, the same shame…
When you see these survivors standing courageously,
together at the Capitol, pleading with you
for justice, for courage, to stand with the victims
please hear their petitions, their cries…

Your loved ones may have been hurt in their past,
even though you may not know,  
even if they are silent, in pain, crying,
quietly bearing decades of forced secrets…
They, too, are being triggered, liberated, and hurting,
in shame for the sins others committed,
stealing their joy, their innocence…

You have the power to change, to heal the broken,
to lift the cloud of shame dwelling with them,
for your loved ones, these survivors, these victims
of the rich and the powerful, pedophiles, predators,
protected by the system, within the halls of power…
Sign the Discharge Petition, join with them,
to bring healing to our troubled land…
