George Cardinal Pell

If he is not telling the truth then at lying he does well
The best one can say of George Cardinal Pell
To say of the child abuse in Ballarat that he did not know
Is like saying the Antarctic in Winter is free of ice and snow

From a hotel room in Rome evidence on the Ballarat paedophile priest Gerald Risdale
Who more than likely will spend his last days in jail
George Pell said of the happenings under his watch he had not known
And of any responsibility on his behalf he does disown

On the ailing Bishop Ronald Mulkearns he puts all of the blame
Whilst he exonerates himself of any knowledge of the Ballarat crimes of shame
When bishop Mulkearns says on covering for Risdale by shifting him from parish to parish he got it all wrong
We know on his side that at least the truth does belong

That George Cardinal Pell is a clever man there can be little doubt
And it is hard to believe that the crimes by priests in Victoria he would not have known about
In the Ballarat Royal Commission for him there has not been any prestigious gain
As a doubt on his and his character will always remain

Whether George Cardinal Pell is lying or telling the truth is not for me to say
For who am i for to be his judge anyway
But many do look on him as one not free of taint
And doubtful that he will ever be one to be canonized as a saint.
