The Political God Squad
Our founding fathers showed great wisdom,
Defining our roots by constitutional debate.
From experience against an angered monarch,
The need was seen to separate church & state.
This core concept is now again being questioned,
As the church seeks a larger role to play.
It seems God wants to have more direction,
Towards guiding our lives day-to-day.
My lowly opinion on this topic is critical,
Yet it has little to do with God.
But more to do with rabid fundamentalists,
Greedy for more power & influence behind a facade.
Now I'm the first to realize just how
Difficult this separation would be to apply.
Since there are so many links in our social fabric,
From our 'pledge of allegiance', to the currency we all buy.
Sadly, this evangelical effort, seems to
Press the need for God's voice to legislate.
Although the church doesn't have a clue with
Governing, as long as it continues to serve up more hate.
