Analysis of Sinister theology ... carefully taught



America was, not long ago,
A haven for all that is good,
Our freedoms, values, family, home,
Sustained our souls as food.

But darkness sown in our midst,
Our young its tendrils seek,
Corrupting, spreading sickening blight,
Such mind cancer creeps deep.

This sinister faith has darkened schools,
In knowledge now there is drought.
Preaches perversions, envy, hate,
On campuses throughout.

Subversions of this type take time,
To growing minds lay claim.
It's branded with progressive meme,
And the results are damned.

Judeo/Christian values mocked,
Maligned in public schools.
Murder of the unborn is praised,
Encouraged as empowerment tool.

Insist that genders don't exist,
That men take women's place,
And gains that suffragettes had made,
Are flushed with members' waste.

Children are taught: that sodomy is fine,
As wholesome as apple pie;
To loathe own heritage, what Founders built,
And let our history die.

Contriving Privilege of some
And Fragility poisons feigned,
Self-loathing, stoking racial hate,
Intent is to sow discontent.

Demoralized people seize to care,
Therefore duplicity gets bold.
Those few who dáre challenge lies,
Are onset by dim, smug hordes.

This hive mentality is ingrained,
By those who plan our nation's fall.
Unwitting soldiers of the damned,
Now cheer when ills befall.

Unless these enemies dislodged,
As ticks, of soaring eagle's tail.
All our Fathers struggled to build,
Is Doomed to collapse and fail.
