    Ode To Conservatism

    *

    The mighty King of Beasts
    has met his prey,
    and this tender morsel’s
    on the menu today;
    But his fearsome roar
    hits unhearing ears, and
    his deadly fangs
    bites flesh that will not tear,
    so the pending demographic
    of this exchange,
    alerts the king
    that his role has changed.
    .
    The mighty King wishes
    he’d passed on this prey,
    but now he’s forced to continue;
    for he’s awakened the sleeping
    boa constrictor,
    and the monarch
    is now on the menu.
    .
    As he squirmed and wiggled
    and struggled for air,
    and pleaded with a boa
    who didn’t have ears,
    his last thought on Earth
    went something like this -
    It was my arrogant hubris
    that led to this fix.
    .

    Religious bigotry: It's not that I hate everyone who doesn't look, think, and act like me - it's just that God does.
