A Psalm For Freedom.


We worship You The white walls, with marble pillars. These alters we construct on our school grounds. We have sacrificed our kids to be Your gladiators. And you shower us with blessings. You smite our enimy for us. We are your people, And you are our gods. Take my riches, Take 40 percent of my wealth. I give you my land, My body, My children. All of it is yours. So long as I do the rituals it is all good. Please be my leader. Don't let these animals hurt me! All men a men of carnage, Those that aren't are Liars! Thank you for giving me the chance to vote for freedom You are a kind and generous God. Your banner hangs above us. Blue with stars to stripe a world of red to white. Be kind to me, or incarcerate me for treason. I shall not rebel. Leader of the free world, Lead my world tonight! Amen.
