When Businessmen Take the Moral High Ground

Of all the oddities today
    That I have seen, the oddest
Is businessmen hold moral sway,
    Authority immodest,

Usurpt the role of churchmen who
    Preach on about high morals,
But with such deeds their allies do
    Disdain from picking quarrels.

If he but kowtows to their base
    A man may lie or slander,
Commit theft, skirts or britches chase,
    Assault, abuse, philander,

And do it with impunity
    Of that you can be sure,
Conferred the sly immunity
    Of their imprimatur.

These churchmen abdicated well
    Beneath the school of Graham
True Christian correspondence—hell,
    Each preached his own “I AM.”

So, out there grabbing sexual parts
    While judging and condemning,
Leading their followers off the charts,
    Each greedy, faithful lemming,

There was no recourse but for men
    (Traditionally despised),
The business sort, to stand up when
    The chance materialized.

Vacuum of the “Religious Right”
    Could not be more pronounced,
Stampeding greedily, whose tight
    Formation Jesus trounced.
