Greedy Oligarchy Pigs

inspired by political-themed musicals like Les Miserables and Hamilton

Jesus would smack the living shit out of you...

Clean out your temples and knock your tables over, too.

Have you even read the goddamn book?

Or is your faith as fake as you look?

What part of 'love thy neighbor' means tax breaks to you?

/

I don't even believe in God...

But I'm a better Christian than you.

I don't have to have faith...

To know what you say isn't the truth.

/

Greedy oligarchy pigs...

Preparing to feast on your gold.

They don't give a shit

About the kids or the old.

Greedy oligarchy pigs...

Stuffing their pockets with our cash.

I say it's time to carve some bacon,

Now they're big and fat.

/

If Jesus were real and here,

You'd try to deport him.

He was a Middle-Eastern Jew -

You would deplore him.

You wear your hypocrisy on your sleeve...

Like it's something to be proud of.

Yet condemn the same sins of us...

Like we caused the problem.

/

I don't believe in God...

But I'm a better Christian than you.

Feed the hungry, help the needy-

But that's just too much for you!

/

Greedy oligarchy pigs...

Preparing to feast on your gold.

They don't give a shit

About the kids or the old.

Greedy oligarchy pigs...

Stuffing their pockets with our cash.

I say it's time to carve some bacon,

Now they're big and fat.

    What a great poem, CD. First one of your I have read. Congratulations on a Top story award. It was well-deserved. I especially like your catchphrase: "I don't believe in God... But I'm a better Christian than you." Because it is so true of many people that claim to be believers and Christians but are nothing more than hypocrites.

    CD you SLAMMED this! Crafted on point perfection using such accurate imagery. So many favourite lines but this got my "Oh yeah" first:: "What part of 'love thy neighbor' means tax breaks to you?" Blast this top story on repeat around the world!
