Notes About The Poem

What If the Winner Was Family

Some friends have suggested that I'm anti-Catholic, 
And it's true I was raised Protestant, 
Heard the Pope shamed in words vitriolic, 
As at best Satan's henchman with evil intent.

But I think Protestants are not any better, 
In their judgments, both sides, two of a kind, 
For sinners still, they could not be wetter, 
Condemned by the Bible they both have enshrined.

I suspect that all men just lust after power, 
Want to prove they're right, that God's with them still, 
Partisans who all need a cold shower, 
For their false pride corrupts even men of good will.

Remember that Science is part of creation, 
Before you look askance at your brother, 
Reflect on what's really good for the nation, 
For Science and Bible say we have one mother!
