The Phelps Rap ... it is what it is....c/c?

PHELPS RAP

http://www.towleroad.com/fred_phelps/

you preach on the leg of religious decree

telling all of God's children you truly believe

they're unworthy - the scurvy - of air that they breath

if they wear sexuality out on their sleeve

so you paint it and pick-it where soldiers have died

claiming gay is a sin with American Pride

while our Nation is rotting and drops to it's knees

from that twisted agenda you spread like disease

but your mask is a malice of self-serving greed

and you drink from a chalice that fills as we bleed

seeking fortune and fame for your own selfish need

and then name it God's Mission but all that you seed

is a field of your hatred I will not concede

to your pressure your censure your stab in the back

from an unwieldy knife that you twist in attack

with your words your absurdity all that you lack

is the love of true christians you fill in the cracks

with your blasphemous ranting and raving of hate

is it's own just reward you'll receive at the gate

and the judgment - well-earned - when God hands you you fate

    Sin's really back! Please keep this on, gonna post an edit in a couple of hours. Thanks.

    They may have Bibles but we got hackers, though hacking ain’t no solution. In this case however, it seems to be the only option left for even the Supreme Court’s ruled in their favor. I say thus, do it now, don’t waste time, don’t let them say another hate word.

    What strange, egregious mental twist is this

    That’s s prompting them to think or imagine

    that they, and only they, and no-one else,

    are virtuous and deserving or destined

    to the joys of heaven and its glories

    while the rest of us must wallow on lies.

    They won’t stoop to accept or give respect

    Or see the pain in their brothers’ eyes.

    To hate’s their mission, to spread this disease

    Numb to their fellow mortal’s speechless gloom

    And proud to raise voices, for victories

    Shallower than Paris’(Hilton’s) naked costume.

    (ehemmm)

    That keep lidless perverts awake all night

    Watching her DVDs, infectious blight.

    Oh, Sin

    dear Sin,

    you have no idea how much I have missed you.

    Reading this, I got flashes of Bob Dylan...and

    the intensity with which he addressed social issues.

    I have a confession. I also hate. I hate the Phelps crew

    and everything they stand for. I know it's a flaw in my

    character, but I can't help it. I hate cockroaches too.

    You know they are all one family. One self-deluded, hate filled family. I have thought of what legal ways could combat this - One - perhaps these kinds of demonstrations should be legislated against as hate crimes ( and geez many others too). A second way would be to declare them a danger to others and commit them all to a mental health facility. I have to tell you Sin - it makes me angry that I have to take psychotropic medication (of course I need it) but this looney tunes, hate filled, genetically mutated family can do what ever harmful thing they want under the first amendment.

    Excellent poem, as always with you - amazing social commentary.

    Miss you.

    Hi. This poem is so good and very truthful I know the feelings, my husband served in the military and was wounded badly and because of that he is shell shock and do not sleep good at night, These people are so wrong and full of it. But God;s knows they hearts He is still sitting on His throne of mercy and grace one day they will all meet they maker. Your poem is so sad and depressing.

    I want to thank you for this poem, those that serve and give the supreme

    sacrifice deserve nothing but honor and dignity.And for calling this evil thing

    what it is , for that I also thank you.Please know as I and many of my

    generation having put on the uniform of this country feel nothing but

    disgust towards the people who denigrate the honored sacrifice of those

    who die no matter what or who or how they love, they shall always be

    brothers in arms.Thank you, and forgive me but your poem touched me.

    I second the emotion

    of the poem

    and of all those before me who have answered.

    These guys aren't a "church"

    they are a misguided family.

    I hate what they do,

    yet, freedom of speech, even for morons

    is a legal right,

    even when it isn't right.

    We must be careful

    Not to feed their fire

    For us to turn on them

    Is just what they desire

    They love being hated

    All their publicized mayhem

    We need to leave it in His hands

    Or we'll wind up just like them
