Freedom of Religion

Freedom of Religion
By Franklin Price

Freedom of Religion
Has reared its ugly head
You must not have your very own
You must have mine instead

And if you try to join me
And I discover on the way
You are not welcome in my church
If I find that you are gay

Not only that you're not allowed
Any happiness to find
No matter what you try to do 
You will not change my mind

If I am also in business
And you tell me you are gay
I have the right in my belief
To say to go away

I only want your money
If I don't know who you are
I might even have a drink with you
On the week-end at the bar

I won't ask if you don't tell
Like the congress on the hill
If you still were in the closet
Would not have to pass this bill

As the author of this ranting
Do not believe this thinking saves
But I believe our founding fathers
Are turning in their graves
