the poor you will always have

oh to be a conservative Christian
to preach the gospel of peace
while cutting funds
for the poor
let us join hands and pray
“thy kingdom come
but, dear God, don’t let it
be a welfare state”
give Ananias back his money
and be sure to silence
the beggar on the street
meanwhile, let us loudly proclaim
“those godless heathen liberals
want to spend, spend, spend
but, thank God Almighty
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!”
