Instead of standing in front of a church
With a Bible in his hand
For a photo opportunity
He needs to understand
What’s inside the Bible
Providing that he can
Instead of proving cover
For the Ku klux ****

Instead of going to the shrine
Of Pope John Paul Two
A giant of a man
That you hardly knew
You see the things he stood for
You haven’t got a clue
Or you wouldn’t do
The things that you do

Instead of trying to play the role
Of some kind of dictator
By trying to take control
Of the peaceful demonstrator
Why not promote love?
But, you prefer to be a hater
Throwing  verbal bombs
Separating like a crater

Instead of doing your very best
To sow seeds of discord
So the members of your base
Feel free to jump aboard
Why  not promote a sense
Of common unity
Instead of being on the fence
Whether what I’m saying
To you, makes any sense
