Priest please

By Arnold Mutugi 

As youths yawn and yearn
Some spiritual and others sexual nourishment,
With an erect fatherly finger you
Condemn condoms and contraceptives…


When does a bachelor priest patronize parenting?
If safe sex is sacrilegious,
“The thing is abstinence, or else…
Abstinence”
But father,
Long time ago, youths used to hoe
Short time ago, youths now whore

No land to hoe,
TV, calories and sedentary existence
Sexual repertoire from India…
Priest, please tell the truth of our times
