Westboro Baptist Church Upheld

Westboro Baptist Church Upheld

By Elton Camp

The Supreme Court says they have the right
To demonstrate, to yell, to spew hate and spite
True Christians are identified by showing love
Something this church seems to be devoid of 

Even those who view homosexuality as a wrong
Are tired of Westboro Baptist Church’s old song
Because after almost any type of natural disaster
To assign blame, it is the gays that they go after

That the Lord will punish all people due to gays
Seems to most a distortion of his righteous ways
If there comes flood, fire, terrorism, earthquakes
It is a direct act of God according to those fakes

Certainly, they have a right their views to state
But it should be done with great love, not hate
Perhaps they may believe they’re the chosen few
If they were, they’d be loving with what they do
