Babies Fate
Oh,scare the little children
frighten them with blood
titillate their new born needs
warn them of the flood.
Steal their nascent power
chart the Churches course.
Bind them with the force of sin
give each one a cross.
Stall their power to learn
insight from actions
by claiming all for the Church
faith's a transaction.
Bribe the little children first
with milk and honey
damn the warts the rough cohorts
the un-symmetric few.
Oh,scare the little children
sacrifice in fire
Burn the heathen hordes now
their bodies on a pyre.
Write for them a fairy tale
a holy book of two
gather all their ego dreams
turn for them the screw.
OH scare the little children
the large ones and the small
if He keeps them from their power
why he can have it all.

*The Medival and Spanish Inquisition lasted of 500 years, caused about 6,000 deaths. These atrocities are completely inexcusable. The Inquisition tortures and death were inexcusable. I echo the voice of John Paul II "Forgive us Lord, Never Again"
