I was impressed
taken in
then saddened
by the contrast
between their policy
and the quality of the prose
Let us pray.
Standpoint
had a sanctimonious tone
of outrage
prosaic fulminations
by snobbish schoolboys
outraged by the poorly paid
evil rioting children
the disreputable
and the disadvantaged
Let us pray.
How dare they
upset the good old boys
dreaming
and reminiscing
about heroic deeds
while out huntin'
or tipplin'
Let us pray.
Can they justify
the collateral damage
caused
by unmanned
Reaper Hellfire rockets?
Let us pray
To save them
from their reactionary
values
and unsound minds.
