Dogma
Encrusted principles and beliefs
Defended by the king and his fifes
Bent on religious knees
Higher monks to please
I didn’t know that this was so
Came as a blow
From a friend
That called me, a so and so,
Believe it or not
Discussions over a pup
A sweet little mop
Its barking wouldn’t stop
I gave it a treat
It waggled its tail so sweet
Should give it a boot with my cleats
My friend mutters as he retreats
]
Do I know you I said
I’d rather be dead
To hurt this little critter instead
You’re kidding right, you wouldn’t I bet
Ah, he says, it’s a lump of meat
Good for shitting, and for feed
Rather feed the kids in need
So a better life they lead
I stood there aghast
He walks away, I yelled not so fast
A glaring glance I cast
While in his glory he did bask
Where did you learn to be so mean?
Living righteous and so clean
Gave your halo such a sheen
On feeding children keen
I go to church he says
Give money to the poor God Bless
My sins I do confess
With that my wrongs redress
He’s pulling my strings I thought for sure
Knows every bar and whore
Never seen him help the poor
Have I such bullshit to endure
Animals are for use he says
It’s us that God did bless
Do no moral laws transgress
I didn’t make the world a mess
I said, you screwed around with every lass
That’s all you thought of was your ass
Then on Sundays run to mass
Little puppies would harass
You and all the likes
Be obliged to feed the little tykes
Buy them toys and bikes
You guys made them, then went on hikes
And the other sort quite not so brave
The world a family they gave
To churches doctrine were a knave
Helped not, overpopulation stave
Millions of starving here and there
Begging for their share
Depend on a bowl of rice from care
Telling me of morals, dare!
Breed, breed, and breed,
That’s what got us here indeed
Soon eat ourselves out of house and home with speed
Animals and their planet rape with greed
Go home my friend, don’t give me lip
This is not good stewardship
Your smoking grass, you’re on a trip
Go home before my guts I flip
But here and there you find
A little hand that’s kind
Little lass, not yet so blind
To give a treat not mind!
And then a little guy with bright blond hair
Pointed at the puppy fair
Look ma, look ma,
A dogma!
