A woman stands for what is right
She takes it to court, wins the fight
She stands through threats of death
Rape with the brutality to steal breath
These loving Christian comments made
Burnt into my retinas and will not fade
We are told not to judge all by this few
Yet they include your elected too

A state representative on national TV
Who, taking exception to her victory
From the baying crowd's sheet did sing
He called her an "evil thing, poor thing"
And he was indeed by Christians elected
For their moderate party he was selected
He then claimed she was manipulated
By some evil people, so he stipulated

Excuse me but didn't she win that case?
How dare this man show his face?
And those who voted for him how dare you
Claim we shouldn't judge by the few?
You voted for this scumbag cretin
You helped him the elections win
And you who didn't vote either way
You too had your national say

Not voting is to vote for the majority
To get fully behind any plurality
That those who show up support
You had your chance to retort
If you did not with them agree
Why didn't you vote third party?
You think you are excused
Just because you recused?

All across the United States
Students have to weigh their fates
As creationists strive to teach a lie
They legislatures lobby and buy
And on various school boards
Come the ignorant hordes
Because of your support
Or your failure to report

We are as bad as the fundamentalist?
Where are you when we protest
Against their dark aged theocratic drive?
You always seem so late to arrive
You seek this air reasonable to project
Where are you when it's time to reject
These evils that we bring to light?
Where are you in this fight?

"Not perfect, just forgiven"� is said
All too often this is taken as read
As some sort of license not to try
It is smugly sung as justice's lullaby
You could be so much better than this
Why do you the opportunity miss?
You focus on the anger I feel
Why can't you face what is real?

And on that subject where is your anger?
Do you not feel that burning hunger
To see a world made ever improved?
Don't you feel by anything moved
To act against the evil and the wrong
To take stands that are just a bit strong?
Why do you extol in tones so academic
The virtues of being emotionally anemic?
