Extend a Helping Hand and Draw Back a Nub

Extend a Helping Hand and Draw Back a Nub

By Elton Camp

Terrorists are examples of people like that
They don’t want any help, but only combat

If anything reasonable you should say or do
To your woe, you will learn their colors true

It really won’t do you any good even to try
For whatever you say, they will misapply

Some evangelical “christians” are like that
Try to reason and they will hit you, “Splat.”

Their views, on all others, they would force
And love to use the public schools, of course

If schools give other views, they cry “Fowl,”
While to get to impose theirs, they will howl

With legal American values, this never fits
Don’t give in to such lying, sneaky hypocrites


(This speaks, not about all Christians, but those who would impose their views on others, especially through the public schools.  Their websites sometimes deliberately lie when reporting actions by the schools to prevent their domination.)

It is exciting to see the replenishment of new poetry here everyday when I log on. I enjoy the diverse poetry so I am never bored by most of what I read. I am happy to have read your poetry this morning Elton. I hope that you might be able to find the time to read some of the other poetry here also. Love, Carol
