Praise Be...or Else

So, Amy Coney Barrett,

As Trump's newest recruit

To sit on America's highest court,

"Blessed be the Fruit."°

 

You shine through the Republicans'

Hypocrisy, and we

Must bite our tongues as we are forced

To answer with "Praise be."°

 

Your past opinions show how you

Could easily undermine

Individual rights, for there

Is SO much on the line.

 

Clear responses to the senators'

Questions were so sparse

That your confirmation hearing

Was a total farce.

 

It's also very obvious

That your suspicious connections

Will throw into question our

Free and fair elections.

 

The illusion of majority rule

Is slowly being eroded,

As justice for Americans

Has become corroded.

 

How long until there's pressure to

Replace the word "Goodbye"

With the cold and threatening

Expression "Under His eye"?°
