Watching the debate last night prompted me to write this poem. Hopefully, none of the candidates see it...NOT!
Christian Politicians By Franklin Price 3/3/2016 Politicians not acting Christian When they sink to tales and lies Doesn't count they cross their fingers All their toes and both their eyes Turn their backs on Jesus' teachings And ignore the Golden Rule Worst of all, politically, Make themselves look like a fool I think they've changed the Golden Rule By just a word or two “Do unto all the others Before they can do to you” If winning the election Is to ignore what Jesus taught Should change their names to Judas For thirty pieces can bought They don't get to pick and choose When to live the Christian way If Christian, should be living it Every hour of the day Not just on Sunday mornings When sitting in the pew Should be in all their actions And in everything they do The advice I give to candidates If were with them would emote “Don't say that you are Christian Just to get another vote”
