Kill a Tree for Christ
by
Marq T. Laube
Kill a tree for Christ
today!
Pull funding from the arts!
Stop wasteful education spending.
What? You think the cold war’s ending?
You’re thinking with the wrong body parts.
Buy a car and drive
today.
Exploit without a care.
But fight to keep what you’ve been earning,
’cause every welfare mom is learning
how to get more than her fair share.
Burn a cross with joy
today
to cleanse your neighborhood.
Teach and preach and if they’re not hearing
remember that the end is nearing
and you only get in if you’ve been good.
Tell someone they’re damned
today.
Lighten up a room.
Explain how race riots are just for looting.
Attend the latest abortionist shooting.
Give correctional guidance—it’s your duty.
Generously mandate your point of view.
And give a contract to a hungry country.
Because it’s what you give that comes back to you.
