Maintain the Separation!

The Ten Commandments on public buildings?

How does that not violate

Our Founding Fathers yearning for

The separation of church and state?

 

Still it's occurring across the country

In numerous states by folks who demand

That Christianity, of course,

Be blatantly given the upper hand.

 

Condemn such in-your-face proposals.

Religious freedom it is not.

It's ignoring the Constitution

Through a crafty religious plot.

 

And charging American taxpayers

To fund our country's religious schools?

It violates the First Amendment,

Thus breaking established rules.

 

The Ten Commandments? Then why not post

Muslim and Buddhist precepts that dwell

Within the hearts of many folks,

And lines from the Bhagavad-Gita as well?

 

And speaking of the Ten Commandments,

By the way--yes, the sum of them--

We have watched with no surprise

As Trump has broken every one of them.°

°Even killing? Consider how many people have died because of his disastrous policies and responses to public health crises.

Let Your Voice Be Heard!

Vandalizing people’s Teslas

Is wrong, terribly wrong,

Even though Musk sticks his nose

Where it doesn’t belong.

 

Instead, protest at dealerships

With messages loud and clear:

We are sick of Musk's involvement,

And we will persevere.

 

Trump has given him carte blanche

To ravage our country. We need

To stop these onslaughts on agencies

Because of far-right greed.

 

DOGE--Department of Greed and Evil--

Has gained access to

Personal records. Think of all

The damage it could do!

 

The little DOGE whippersnappers

Are also going after

Non-federal agencies!

This is no cause for laughter!

 

All the damage that they are doing

Is going to be hard to fix.

While people suffer, the president

And Musk are getting their kicks.

 

Find a protest nearest you.

Let your voice be heard.

Fight to save democracy,

And also spread the word.
