How can you feel holy By enjoying the pain of others? Where is your righteousness When you deny starving mothers And brothers and fathers And sisters and all others Who need your help the most? Does it add fat to your roast? Is compassion some kind of crime? Does it rob you of a dime When you have so many millions And not enough time to spend them?
Your logic is totally illogical! It’s just short of scatological, And adds up to the villainy Of a well-armed sworn enemy. This abhorrence of equality Is your standard normality. It often seems that being smug Works on you like a kind of drug That makes you see your neighbor As nothing more than slave labor. You who won’t throw dogs a bone Did you get where you are alone?

You are taking a word such as liberal And making a synonym for criminal. You seem to want freedom to choose As opportunity for religious abuse. How are these oppressions you do Good for anyone, not even for you? For sure it might gain you some gold That won’t love you when you grow old. Unless you intend on buying affection You won’t get much from an election. The people who will applaud are shallow If they let the world’s fields lie fallow.
