Our Faux Christian Nation

by Irene Daniel


Koch and ALEC policies,
rife with exploitation,
devoid of social justice
in our faux Christian nation.


Millions give they to charity
for a tax-deductible donation;
names forever emblazoned
in our faux Christian nation.


The deck stacked in their favor
and blissful adoration;
theft of land and labor
in our faux Christian nation.


Have-nots now must rely on them
a Pavlovian mutation;
instead of opportunity
in our faux Christian nation


Like dogs at their feet
we grovel for our ration,
just to have enough to eat
in our faux Christian nation.


Ayn Rand, not the real Jesus,
ensures their rich salvation,
wrapped in an American flag
in our faux Christian nation.


And as we pal around with them,
Rotarians and Kochs by invitation,
we make excuses for them
in our faux Christian nation.


We touch the silk and smell the roses,
we like this sweet sensation;
and we become seduced
in our faux Christian nation.


Well maybe they are not so bad
in their machination.
White linen adorns this comfy trap
in our faux Christian nation.


21st century Pharisees,
oh the bloviation;
we worship greed and gold here
in our faux Christian nation.


They'd crucify him all over again
the Nazarene of lowly station.
Would we still hide their messes
in our faux Christian nation?


Or sell perhaps at auction
for portfolio inflation,
of gods of greed and capital
in our faux Christian nation?
.
How long 'til citizens grow weary
of this constant degradation?
and pick up their feet and voice and vote
in our faux Christian nation?


Or will they just destroy our earth
every province, state and all creation?
For they will die in comfort
in our faux Christian nation


Oh how lamentable,
the lethal lack of preparation;
they are the brick that drags us down
in our faux Christian nation.


One day we will no longer be;
we face our decimation.
What will historians tell
of our faux Christian nation?
