Anointed by God to rule the land Yet brags where he places his molesting hand Let us love one another, all children of God Yet puts proxies before a firing squad The Lord he praised and the Bible he thumped Yet adherents of the Word neither phased nor stumped Turn to God when forgiveness you seek Yet replies NO, never shall I be unmanly/meek In the eyes of God, we are all alike Yet the misbegotten can all take a hike Obey my command and I’ll offer benevolence As I give E pluribus unum a whole new relevance God hath anointed His faithful avatar for you Yet now go and do as I say, not as I do
