God Bless Me

I drop a penny,
into the Army’s kettle, 
call me a Christian.

I love my neighbor,
from behind a border wall,
Call me a Christian.

Talk of abortion,
and I will have to shoot you down,
Call me a Christian.

As for the homeless,
they are just a bunch of bums,
call me a Christian.

Skins not my color,
I will run you out of town,
call me a Christian.

Transgender people,
they can’t go to church with me,
call me a Christian.

I’ll not treat others,
as I demand they treat me,
call me a Christian.

I think you find such hypocrisy in all religions Jerry... sadly some do no follow their chosen religion correctly.. a powerful truth you have highlighted..
