I believe in grace just if deserved just if earned. - I believe in mercy just to perfection just to a specific impossible exception. - I believe I was forgiven but I wasn’t that bad but I’m not like that. - I believe I am loved but I was predestined I guess that makes me the best then? - Hate the sin and love the sinner except if their fall brings my rise except if others agree they should die. - Love The Lord with all your heart, he doesn’t need you to love others he didn’t mean bad neighbors, just brothers. - I don’t hate, I love justice imprisoning those who I hate celebrating death and destruction pouring hours into self justification worshiping men with idolatrous consumption. -

“I don’t have a racist bone in my body”
Onward Christ’s invaders Waging pious war. Genocidal warriors; Profit’s faithful hordes. We know what we’re paid to do. Hold our banner high. Anyone gets in our way Then that one has to die. We ignore the whines of those Whose relatives have died. We are doing right because God is on our side. Christ died on the cross for us Washed away our sins. That’s why we must **** the rest So they’ll be born again. Slaughtering’s our holy right It says so in our book Someday we will read the thing, Take a good long look. Until then, we do what we’re told; March and slash and **** We are faithful Christians, we Obey and always will. Onward Christ’s invaders Waging pious war. Genocidal warriors Profit’s faithful hordes. We know what we’re paid to do. Hold our banner high. Anyone gets in our way Then that one has to die.

HOLY HORDES
Dead soldiers can’t march. They can’t hear your lies. They can’t hear their buddies Or their agonizing cries. The politicians lie so smoothly Some dreams are so lifelike And the lies are said so truthfully That some life seems dreamlike. Dead soldiers are not the ones, The ones out looking for war. They, above everyone else, Know exactly what war is for. Congress keep swords sharpened Year after hypocritical year. Don’t let it happen again Don’t let it happen here. Dead soldiers can’t hear you When you pray to the crowd. They can’t hear the platitudes No matter how florid and loud. They are beyond your excuses And they never really mattered. People in power are safe far away From where all the blood is splattered. Dead soldiers can’t hug their kids Or kiss their wives in the morning. No more time exists for them It ended with little warning. They did what they were told to do With no mutinous thought in their head. They were obedient and loyal And now they are quietly dead. Congress keep swords sharpened Year after hypocritical year. Don’t let it happen again Don’t let it happen here.

DEAD SOLDIERS
The solution to pollution Is to cease affluent effluent. In other words make the rich Live in their ecological excrement. Force them to drink only from Their permanently poisoned pipes And turn a deaf ear, as they did To any of their constituent’s gripes. The enemies of the anemones Fought their way to the deep To censure and make sure The sea creatures had no sleep. It seems the corporations Don’t realize what they’re doing. If we **** off the plankton, then We’re headed for planetary ruin. It was bad enough when someone, Without telling us, sold our land And then they chopped down trees For a reason anyone can understand; Greed. That was the proper word. They wanted more money in the bank. So when the land erodes and dies We’ll have the corporations to thank. They cover up their eco-crimes By declaring illegal military forays And pretend they are taking us back To those good old, happier days. But in between bombing villages It can always plainly be seen That we and our country are Slowly being picked totally clean. And when we object, cry out loud That something is wrong with all this; They start to call us unpatriotic, Call us who starve are the neurotics. So, don’t listen to their lying rhetoric, Instead look at what they are doing. The sonsabitches are Macbeth’s witches, And they have a lot of poison brewing.

POISONING THE WELL
Fools blather about the glory of the fight And don’t hear the mothers crying at night. The wives of those marauders on the roam Cry because their husbands can’t come home. The children of these battle-addicted men Go away, eyes ashine, never to return again. And still the moneyed few, urge on toward Yet those godlings never pick up a sword. Mandates from government palaces abound But not as many as the dead on the ground. People are expendable to the military, There are no pensions in the cemetery. It’s all about honor they tell the press. Leaving someone else to clean the mess. Fight for liberty and freedom, they say. They really mean die for them every day. It’s all about profit and always was. It’s that and no more noble cause When a nation not being attacked Falsely claims they’re striking back. Then goes on to leave thousands dead So they can wear a crown upon their head. If you see no words of shame in this Then you have found what is amiss. These people are not motivated by grace. They have the look of evil upon their face. They already own most of what is here But they keep a running tally all year. As too much is not enough they crave, Even if that puts us all in our grave.

CALL TO BATTLE
Onward Christian soldiers Off to ****** more. With the cross of Jesus Adding up the score. **** as many as you can In the name of Him He, the guy who taught you love Whose light is going dim. Take the words that Jesus said Twist them up your way. Make the talk of prejudice Throw the book away. If someone is different Make a joke of them. Make up lies to publicize In the name of Him. Call the Christian soldiers To put down the poor If they dare to congregate At the nation’s door. Teach them only Christians Get to share the loot. And they have to be the right Kind of church to boot. Bless you Christian soldiers God is on our side. Fight against those other folks Please keep back the tide. Good people are like us; Stand behind the cause. Christian white and Protestant Just like Jesus was.

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
Bullets have no feelings No use in kneeling Nobody cares that matters. They never count The bones that shatter, The blood that splatters The lives they ruin. They don’t know what they’re doing. They’re thinking with their wallets. Lining their overstuffed pockets, They reward their own efforts Then get together and do the same For others with too much fame And too little conscience; No pity to share, They don’t care. We are not there To them. Their anthem Is gouge, overcharge Fill up a barge with gold. This graft never grows old When you are on the receiving end. Millions to donate? You are a friend. No riches to date? You are forgotten, A loser, a user, misbegotten And no concern of those With a spoon in their nose And riches to spend On a war that never ends And makes them more and more. And secret bank accounts don’t score With the IRS or with the detectives; As long as our county is defective They will continue to win. Again and again. If you object to this You need to at least kiss The ***** of some politicians Who won’t see their petitions Ignored, as always before When someone denounced The smallest ounce Of corruption and payoffs Paid to overpaid jerkoffs Who are turning our leadership Into a high-priced sinking ship Of fools and criminals Claiming to be intellectuals When really they are crooks Cooking the books. Again and again. And we never win.

BULLETS HAVE NO FEELINGS
The invasion of other countries Has to come to a full stop. You’re making us the Evil Empire By playing at being traffic cop. We are stuck in a sick cycle Of meddling in the internal affairs And financing revolutions and wars In countries where nobody asked us there. You’re evil And even more so; Pure evil Because you don’t think so. At least that’s what you claim But you’re as phony as your fame. You tell the voters one set of lies And secretly agree on others. Your backroom manipulations Kills our sisters and brothers While hiding behind patriotism The overseas battles of duplicity Are not about threats to us here, But are about oil and ethnicity. You’re evil And even more so; Pure evil Because you don’t think so. At least that’s what you claim But you’re as phony as your fame. You take advantage of the state Of poverty out nation is suffering That you politicians caused By removing our safeguard buffering. You are doing your best to remove All the national checks and balances So you can ***** our world at large That has no recourse for grievances. You’re evil And even more so; Pure evil Because you don’t think so. At least that’s what you claim But you’re as phony as your fame.
