Sarcasm!

Bah, separation of church and state.

Our founding fathers were wrong with their slate,

of rules, so wrong with their mistaken belief

that it is dangerous to mix religion and politics, chief

among them. I believe what I believe, and if you disagree,

I don't want any interaction between you and me.

I know that you are wrong, and I am right.

Your skewered version of things is a blight

on what those of us who are correct.

Anything else is just a cult or a dangerous sect.

Some people say I'm doing exactly what the terrorists do,

seeking to force warped beliefs on me and you,

but God told me one night in a dream,

that those wayward sons beliefs are blaspheme.

I believe that am here, and we should be slamming the door

on any others who would just want the same chance. I'm for

building a wall, 10 feet high, topped with barbed wire.

If you think the same, hey, you're preaching to the choir.

Manned by armed guards, who make sure to keep out

all others who want a new life, a new beginning. I doubt

they'll work hard, they're probably all criminals anyway.

You'd be wise to heed my warning, to listen to what I say.

 

You may think of me as intolerant, but right is right.

You stand in the dark, and I stand in the light

if you're not in lockstep with everything I believe.

That I could be mistaken, I cannot conceive.
