| Satire of Morality Close your minds. Close your hearts. Open a book, An old, outdated book Of myths and insane Tall tales taken as truth � Open that book, And it tells you Who deserves to be Treated as a human, And who does not. If you read it properly, It tells you that Forgiveness is selective; Sins may be equal In the eyes of God, But not in the eyes of man. If expedient, It is quite all right To hold prejudices against What you can never hope To understand � just so long As the Pope and the President Are of accord. The Holy Roman Empire Now lives again, and what A glorious thing it is � Catholic Kings who burn Their people for �sins,� Because forgiveness is Never mentioned in their Bible. Murder is acceptable, so long As mortal, unknowing men Say that God wills it so. We must not obey each Chapter of this Holy Bible So long as it serves us well, And we are capable of Forcing the masses into agreement � Through fire and sword and explosion. The war on terrorism Need only be waged Outside our borders, And you must always Agree with the moral Majority. love poems anonymous |
