In a former time and place
When men and boys did lust
Young woman taken, there no trace
Of innocence and trust
Flowers wilted, laid to waste
Diamonds turned to rust.
Plucked, the wilted Flowers
No longer 'Ladies" by the score
Were made to work long hours
Were called harlots. **s.
Catholic "laundries", hell in store,
They weren't seen anymore.
Into those laundries they were placed
To be beaten, and much worse
Women unmarried lost all face
So by the "nuns" were nursed.
To them were worthless & unchaste
So to this hell were cursed.
Many ***** while there, inside
These "homes for wayward women"
No matter how they wept and cried
Could not leave the "institutions"
Many children in them died
In mass graves of "absolution".
"Priests" were given sanction
To ****** these poor babes!
They were of the unction
Men of the cloth, so said!
They had no compunction
In damning the unsaved!
This story is a true one.
In Ireland were found
Mass graves under rock & loam
Women & babies... bound!
Sometimes folks should go to hell
I hope, sometimes, they DO.
I hope there's a special well
And that's where they went to!
Those nuns and benighted priests!
How often I've thought
They deserve the hottest place...
... and I hope they ROT!!

The last Magdalene Laundry in Ireland closed for good on Oct 25, 1996.
Also known as Magdalene asylums, Magdalene Laundries were cruel and medieval institutions in which women were imprisoned, stripped of their human rights and abused sexually and otherwise.
Women sent to the Laundries were deemed “mischievous” or “scandalous” at an incredibly young age and spent years and years of their lives doing penance for their sins, guarded by ruthless nuns.
The Laundries were disguised as rehabilitation centers for “fallen” women; in reality, the women rarely made it out alive from these places. A mass grave of 155 corpses was discovered in Dublin in 1993
