Bringing my two worlds together

When the President Talks to God

When the President talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long
Does he ask to rape our women’s rights
And send poor farm kids off to die
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the President talks to God

When the President talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft.
Is he resolute all down the line
Is every issue black or white
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the President talks to God

When the President talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod
Agree which convicts should be killed
Where prisons should be built and filled
Which voter fraud must be concealed

When the President talks to Godv
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs, the ghetto’s broke
‘No, they’re lazy George, I say we don’t
Just give ‘em more liquor stores and dirty coke’
That’s what God recommends

When the President talks to God
Do they drink Near Beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved
I guess God just calls a spade a spade
When the President talks to God

When the President talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he’s not
That, that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the President talks to God

great poem. And I'm the guy who hates poetry.

Rob - come to the fair mother city. I promise not to be a weird-ass.
