ABLUTION

by cedric-mcclester

By: Cedric McClester Excuse me as I do my ablution After I wipe my ass on your Constitution Which you don’t believe in anyway At least not the parts that expressly say There’s freedom of religion as well as speech Those are the things that I’m told you teach The same things that you want to now take away As you dictate to me where I can or can’t pray I need ablution To wash myself clean Of the things that you say But clearly don’t mean Your attitude Borders on the obscene So I need ablution To wash myself clean What’s happened to the American ideal The one that was sold that had such appeal And is all but forgotten nowadays Which is apparent in so many ways Where’s the principles on which you stand Have they been abandoned throughout this land If your core values are becoming suspect Is there anything left for you to protect I need ablution To wash myself clean Of the things that you say But clearly don’t mean Your attitude Borders on the obscene So I need ablution To wash myself clean Your attitude has me so confused Cos the right to free speech Is so often abused And you know you’re guilty As you’ve been accused When burning Korans Is all over the news I need ablution To wash myself clean Of the things that you say But clearly don’t mean Your attitude Borders on the obscene So I need ablution To wash myself clean Excuse me as I do my ablution After I wipe my ass on your Constitution Which you don’t believe in anyway At least not the parts that expressly say There’s freedom of religion as well as speech Those are the things that I’m told you teach The same things that you want to now take away As you dictate to me where I can or can’t pray (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.
