RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Separation
The separation of church and state
Is a wall that should not be broken
Of the horrors we might contemplate
This one should be unspoken
The wonders of hypocrisy
They claim to love our nation best
Betray our young democracy
By failing a fundamental test
Religion has no proper place
In the governance of a nation
To human rights a plain disgrace
Like sanctified discrimination
For it has never ever been as clear
As it is on this fair day
The collapse of principle we fear
Has led us far astray
Keep whatever faith you will
It is not for me to say
Honor the creed thou shall not kill
And worship as you may
