Family Values in Montgomery*
At times you can get ‘em to thinkin’
Lucretia Collins would put it this way:
Answers weren’t always so articulate.
Marks of an obedient Christian reveal
by David Goyette
*This is not an anti-Christian Poem. It is a criticism of religious rectitude or self-righteous bigots. I encourage ecumenical understanding of all cultural beliefs and welcome all forthcoming criticism.
About the whole Christian value
System and how it really jives with
Their Holy Bigotry.
“Are you a Christian? Do you believe
Christ died for all people.”
Such as that afternoon in Montgomery
When they held down James Zwerg
To the communion of fingernails, as
Good Christian affirmative action gave
Women and children a chance to leave
Another bloody, God-given massage
Upon his face.
Themselves in the fervent release after
Years of altruistic sermons. A model
Christian parent understands the benefit
Of giving Jingo Jane and John Jr. their
Crack at saying grace.
