Rebel Dust

 

From pulpit high
those foam at the mouth
phony pious guys
are ragging again
at their demons du jour

Fanning irrational fears
against those with different ideas
and skewed beliefs
as they cherry pick
biblical doctrine
to make their hateful case

What these hypocritical 
fire and brimstone
self appointed
defenders of the faith
and persecutors
of perceived deviants
will never understand
is that Jesus LOVED freaks

Truth be told
he was viewed
as one himself
by the religious establishment
who in fact
went out of their way
to persecute his sacrilegious ass

Such is the fate
of all who poke
the rigid boundaries
set by the naysayer class

So the next time
you get crucified
for your non conformity
remember that you're in good company
throughout recorded history
