Flod and Bod, in a battle for souls.
Bod said to Flod, "I shall pirp these flo's."
Flod said in reply, "You'll get floderated,"
"Oh, and by the way, I've never basterflated."
Bod was a fliinner, through and through.
Fl ...[text shortened]... ob, and I've heard said
She once gave Bod some boly good bead.
Is it a noble task to suffer the time and effort
To bring to this great forum a voice of reason,
To dodge the insults and slander of outrageous comments,
To oppose with arguments rife with a sea of knowledge and fact?
Indeed, in taking to arms and fighting the against
The Right -- oh so wrong -- and proffering Truth in the face of lies,
I deny myself the chance to sleep, and perchance to dream
Of better times, when intolerance was a word of the past,
Where the motivation of every God-fearing man and woman
Is but to share a bit of one's bounty, to give where need demands.
It should give one pause that, while those who claim to embrace life,
Ignore the pleas and cries of the poor, the hungry.
Indeed, the insolence of knowing one's salvation-status
Leads to the oppression of those simply seeking the way;
It leads to pride and spurning of one's duty as a loving Creation
In the Image of the Almighty.
And, while people go hungry, go thirsty, and go cold,
The Right can do nothing but worry the sheathing
Of other peoples' bare bodkins, for fear that they might,
In grunting and sweating in the heat of loving passion,
Block the seed of unwanted children from coming into being.
Or, in the dread of eternal damnation, they bear ill to those who
Choose a life of monogamous devotion
But fly from the True Church which they know to bring Life Eternal.
Thus their conscience makes a hell on earth for us all,
Their hubris imposes upon us an iron rule of morality
And a warped sense of Justice.
And, without even a glimmer of thought, and in the absence
Of commentary of pith and substance,
They turn to that which they deem Scripture,
Out of context, and, riddled with self-righteous arrogance and bigotry,
Force the political currents their way,
All the while ignoring those very basic and essential commands
To love Thy neighbor as God loves them: unconditionally.
And, in the absence of action, they fight hard against
The so-called 'Culture of Death,' and bat not an eye to those
Dying around them.
The unremembered dying! No hymn nor Psalm remembers them,
But God does, and will remit upon those hypocrite Pharisees
Unrelenting Justice, for their sins will be remembered.
