I wrote this poem after seeing the latest NRA recruitment video that calls for violence and these videos of pastors preaching about firearms and assassinating abortion providers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV1nonDZ5PM https://thinkprogress.org/in-churches-across-the-country-far-right-pastors-preach-anti-gay-hate-and-violence-cc82d78ada4f http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2015/11/evangelist-calls-on-christians-to-assassinate-abortion-providers/ A twist on “A recipe for love” poem. https://www.scrapbook.com/poems/doc/10979.html Can you tell me how,
A terrorist is made? A heart full of hate, And a deadly hand grenade. Add a cup of fear, And a suicide vest. A mind of ignorance, And a brain that’s repressed. Two arms full of bombs, And lethal ammunition. Minced with words of paranoia, Tossed in lies and suspicion. Sunday sermons proudly preach, Hateful stories full of sin. Violence and weapons, Are the only way to win. “Freedom’s safest place” Is a Bible and some mags. Stir in pious gullibility, But disguise it as the flag. Serve hot just like hell, 'Cuz it’s the only thing they know. But Satan holds the lighter, Saying “Make a wish and blow”. A terrorist is made, When we neglect to see, The NRA’s deception —camouflaged publicity.
