Injustice Is the Legacy of Man

Injustice is the legacy of man
It is the tainted ground on which he stands

Do not put your trust in earthling man
Why, he cannot wield his mundane lifespan

So what do we do with our earthy divan
This copious globe of purpose and plan

When all the media flaxen flames do fan,
And there is no trusting a robed clergyman

When half the country hates a family man
His replacement backed by the Ku Klux Klan

We cannot put our trust in earthling man
So put your faith in the Higher Helmsman
