No confessional
can hold the sins of men done
in God’s Holy Name.
Right-wing Pharisees
roam the halls of governments
exercising hate.
They lie to themselves
stealing freedom’s greatest truths
to lie to us, too.
Money flows and fills
pockets-to-let to control
greed’s supremacy.
Unregulated
democracy fails to be
free for you and me.
Fascism now reigns
in God’s name, on lips profane
from pulpits and schools.
Separation fails
to protect laws, or faiths,
when religion rules.
Time to drive out the
money-changers from temples
of government, now.
We cannot allow
such hate and such harm to be
offered in our name.
Such Offertory
should be left at the altar,
not legislatures.
