“Prior to his own conversion, he relied upon his own depravity to shield and sustain him in his savage barbarity; but after his conversion, he found religious sanction and support for his... cruelty.”
You go to church on Sunday
To whoop and praise the Lord,
But set aside on Monday
What you proclaimed by word,
For Christ preached “Love thy brother,”
Give freely to the poor,
But you scapegoat the “Other”
Whom you drive from your door.
Oh, ho! it is not Christian
To vote for “Might makes right,”
America no bastion
Of sinless conscience white.
It is a land not merely
As seems has lost its wits,
But—turnt hard right severely—
Refuge for hypocrites.
Heaven but waits to smite you
However you profess—
Christians! Let hell indict you
That stooped to less and less.
Jesus gave his example,
“Judge not,” but how ye judge!
Upon his corpse you trample
In evangelic sludge.
