I saw them in the streets Fighting over the cobblestones They never owned and persecuting Any thought not their own The Butcher groupthought hatred on their behalf Then whispered propaganda in their ears To spout from their mouths The Butcher avows, "I'll make a silk purse from A pig's ear" a master of craft I've seen him make a pig's purse From the finest silken negligees Every Farmer stops to beat his meat For the price can't be beaten The Housewife stops to meet his beat Hoping to become the next Salome To others, The Butcher offers political commentary And pride Like lions thrown like swine Thrown before pearls The government is on Christ's shoulders And yet here's a bumper sticker And donation envelope Support your partisan ship There will be wars and rumors of wars But arm your tongue and sharpen Your gun over others' freedom of thought Watch The Housewife suck a Senator's dick By a produce stand And her Farmer husband whore For God and King See them justify it because Jesus loves me this I know For the Bible tells me so Little ones to him belong They are weak but he is Their strong covering for cheap grace As if a Quaalude for their spirit And yet The Butcher claims it isn't righteous To hate the junk-food sayings Itching at immature ears Nor hate the distrust Between Farmer and Housewife Or the lustful shimmer in their eyes That happiness is a warm ploughshare's edge It's still a sword beaten into their hands If The Farmer discovered his Housewife With the Off-Duty Guard from across the street Someone will die by the other's hand If they ever notice The Butcher covered In bubonic plague Then remove his knives to heal His sores, he will bring hell to pay I watched unseen the rabid lions In the streets plotting murder while Bartering sanity for the price Of meat and pride of man
