Moral Suasion

Fathers-in-spirit do not teach your congregations Suicide, massacre, fallacy, bombs, and guns But facts, piety, love, and peaceful co-existence. Fathers-in-flesh do not teach your young ones Neglect, war, begging, rum, and abortions But care, peace, jobs, juice, and obedience. Fathers-in-power do not inflate elections Accumulate billions, dictate the pace, and obliterate our positions But listen, agree, and act to what is being said by the Audience Father-in-heaven allow our pleas to act in turns For you are a witness to these burns As we shall use these as lessons and evidence.
