So-Called Good Christians
You have made a choice.
You have chosen hatred.
In our Heavenly Father,
you have chosen not to rejoice.
He is who spares the most awful dread.
You have chosen to hate me.
First it was the “N” word,
the Afro comment,
and my curly hair.
Now you hate me
for the religion
that I have chosen to be.
My faith gives me what is right and fair.
I pity you for all your hate.
But you made it clear my fate.
A Mormon to this date,
a Mormon forever.
Your rage and hate
prove my faith and
choice of religion right.
Your bigoted hatred
I have chosen to fight
by giving it light.
I want it
in everyone's sight.
Your rage and hatred is your only boast.
But with it you are engrossed.
Like you, your rage and hatred
are nothing but compost.
Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit
gives me what I need the most.
And for you, that is just
too bad so sad.
