So ol' Pat Robertson kicked the bucket.
For him the bell has tolled.
He shouldn't complain; he lived to be
Ninety-three years old.
He used his power to galvanize
A staunch religious Right,
And nonsensical culture wars
Became his constant fight.
Having no problem whatsoever
Blending church and state,
Robertson used the media
To spread his platform of hate.
Feminism drove many women
To witchcraft--an evil path--
Robertson claimed, and earthquakes, he said,
Were caused by Jehovah's wrath.
One of his most wrongheaded statements--
Obnoxious in so many ways--
Was when he stated that 9/11
Attacks were caused by gays!
Dangerously incendiary
Statements to him were candy,
And lashing out at others became
His modus operandi.
Equating gays with Satanists
And Nazis--so malicious--
Robertson seemed so very obsessed
With gays. Highly suspicious!
I wonder if he'll realize NOW--
And I don’t mean to be snarky--
That much of what he spouted here
On Earth was full of malarkey.
