Gathering
The Scraps Of America
We call to arms the
outcast mutt
The buy-on-margin Johnny Schmuck
The dugout-warmer fast food hack
The new age vagrant sideline tracked
We beckon home the
runaways
To join us in these final days
Our Lord redeems the dogs of pain
Chained outside in pouring rain
We lead all men in
righteous song
We call on them to right the wrongs
The women earn some lesser grace
Its by the scripture second place
Pray for weeping
pregnant Mary's
God-assisted full term carry
Deliver one last wayward John
Beyond the leagues of Satan's spawn
Let every path to
life exclude
The sins you dream in solitude
Trust his just and mighty hand
To wipe the faithless from the land
Trowel on this pious
plaster
Wait inside your coma rapture
Heretics of shades of gray
Will rot in Hades, you are saved!
