Blessing the Beast

The president invited supporters

To visit him in the White House this week.

Such a display of hypocrisy!

A prayer orgy, so to speak.

 

With impeachment procedures occurring,

He's trying to bolster part of his base

By meeting with religious fanatics

To pander to them face to face.

 

Referring to so-called religious freedom,

He wants to remind them how much he's done

To help the country and doesn't see how

He's screwing it up for everyone.

 

"Religious freedom" really means

A free rein to discriminate,

A way to deny equal rights,

Another way to perpetuate hate.

 

Watch them lay their hands on Trump

And pray. They don't care in the least

How it looks to the rest of the world.

Don't they know they're blessing the beast?
