The Memorial
Pass the bread pass the wine
In remembrance of a better time
In the Hope to come
The Hope of Jehovah's Kingdom

Christian Leprosy
Christians forgetting to do and wish well
Preaching hatred and fear of a mythical hell
We forget to love as we learn to hate
Showing off piety in a collection plate
As long as we try at all to follow God's Word
Why should any of us be a cast off leper
If Christians want to really cure
They must see what others must endure
You look so well after Christian brothers
But shun the unwed mothers
Each and everyone of us all
Is just another angel bound to fall
But how can one rise up and stand
If no one will reach out and lend a hand
Put your hands out of your pocket
Hold someone else's hand and look out of your socket
The only thing written in God's Plan
Is to love embrace and aid everyman

Homophobia
With AIDS identified we pass judgment on the ill
Not letting them in the army because the immoral shouldn't kill
Syphilis medication can be found in any small town store
But when AIDS was a "gay disease" no one was looking for a cure
And now that the straights get AIDS they kill the faggots manually
Not realizing straights got AIDS straying from monogamy
They're too blind to see the hideous hypocrisy
Of judging homosexuals while permitting misogynist adultery
They allow hetero-hedonism amongst the dorms
But Matthew Shepherd was killed because he lived outside these norms
And no remembers him except spiteful homophobes from Westboro Baptist Church
Who would gladly have him burnt with their Puritan torch
Meanwhile church going women and Midwestern housewives
Have daydreams of soap operas and romance novels dictate their lives
But are so shocked by Ellen's sexuality
They don't notice their ironic mentality
Nor do their husbands sickened by the sodomy
But not their lust, aggression or their gluttony
And not one of them can speak a word against the gays
Unless they change their spiteful hedonistic ways
