They teach their children well
To fear the strange and Other,
To fear the threat of Hell,
A narrow view of brother
Believers in the Lord's Dominion
Must fear all worldly information,
From external informed opinion
Lest their offspring change their station
When sex is taught as foulest taint,
And what's natural is sinful stain
Believe as true what surely ain't
So says the great Mark Twain
Medievalists in modern form
Who seek to raise theocracy,
And see the Blood God as the norm,
They threaten our democracy.
For science is our only hope
Of breaking from our chains
Put on by noblemen and Popes
And freeing children's brains.
I really like that. I wish it could be on the front page of the Toronto Star.
Just off the top of your head?
As to my style of posting, I'm sorry if it's annoying to some.
I've been expecting someone to comment on it.
I am constantly told I am too verbose.
I am trying to avoid a "wall of text",
and just make it visually easier to read, I guess.
