Newtown, CT, 12/16/12
Twenty-six people were murdered last week
By a bright, but awkward sociopath.
Twenty young children, were killed by a geek
Who added himself to his brute bloodbath.
None of us could figure it out except
That Christian evangelic Huckabee.
He knows why: “God was not present.” Inept
God-damned excuse! Then where the fuck was He!
Worse yet, that “interfaith” divine service—
Moslems, Jews, and Christians displayed their tools—
Some teary-eyed, some pompous, all nervous;
They’re probably not hypocrites, just fools.
No need to grieve, angelic spirits roam,
They gather up those tots, and bring them home—
Heal up your severed, blasted, splintered, hearts;
Your children rest with mythologic gods.
Trust us! Lords care for innocents who die
Believe! Believe! There is no need to cry.
So spoke those empty priests: “Believe, you’ll see!”—
Oblivious to their own irony.
