Squarely on a Bible
And thus a session will begin
With name-calling and libel!
And they will look
Down at their Book
A smile spreading wide
And they affirm by the Good Book
But never look inside!
It seems the stuff they legislate
The rules they try to make
Quite often contradict the Book
Upon which oaths they take
Oh they’ll go to constituents
After what they do
And find a way to quote the Book
They love to misconstrue
To me it is amazing
“Don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal”
And all the rules
That mankind knew
It seems they shall repeal
They use the book, just as a prop
To raise their hand and swear
They cannot find G-d’s Covenant
Or they simply do not care!
The part that promises the Land
To Isaac and his kin
Must have been cut
From their “Great Book”
They can’t find it within!
And morals they have tossed out
With ethos and great quotes
Indeed, they’ll bow to anything
If it will get them votes
They’ll go back to their districts
And treat the folks like fools
In churches they will sing the songs
And press the flesh in shuls
But they all have ambitions
I’m not sure of their goals
I wonder what the power does
To have them sell their souls
Indeed it is a cycle
Kowtow and run again
And swear on the Bible
And let us say, “Amen!”
If you’d ask my opinion
Bashevkin indeed thinks
The way they swear with Bibles
Really, really stinks!
I truly do not have a voice
And I don’t make the laws
But I propose a minor change
To fix some minor flaws
No more Bible swearing
Don’t like the way it looks
Instead of Holy Bibles
Swear on comic books
