Burn That Book
Burn that Book?
By Elton Camp
Can there be any good reason why
In a crowded theater “Fire” to cry?
To give out such an intense alarm
When other people it may harm?
Political meddling can be the same
Even when done “In Christ’s name.”
If Islam is thought to be a mistake,
There is a far better route to take.
Calmly explain in a positive way
Unbelievers to your view to sway.
If with violence you do attack,
Expect to get the very same back.
It’s easy to burn another’s holy book
When none of them are there to look
To do that, why doesn’t he station
Himself inside some Islamic nation?
Look at the picture the press does show
For a used car, to him would you go?
“Reverend,” the title he does claim,
In Bible is given only to God’s name.
