Doutbting Thomas

The Jefferson Memorial was just torn down today
A last vestige of a founder had now been swept away
His name already removed from the pages of text books
They even went door to door and the nickels all got took
Piggy banks were confiscated to weed out poison pills
They even found old granny Smith’s beloved…two dollar bill
Monticello leveled; A Mega-Church now praised a wraith
And diamond studded preachers were covetous with faith
No Mosques, no Synagogues, no Buddhist temples were to be permitted
We’d all adhere to the word for which we were befitted
Freedom of Religion was blasphemy in a God fearing nation
Freedom from Religion was the pipe dream of a lost generation
With Dynamite and jack-hammers they blew his visage off Rushmore
And rock strewn remnants of wisdom lay strewn about the valley floor
It’s now claimed to be official, a Christian nation we shall be
As so proclaimed, by the conceptually blind, in the land of Liberty
