Guns and Bibles

I yearned to rule the world

And so, I built a church

Convincing all my brethren

That the godless we must hurt

Some were unbelievers

And so, I sewed a flag...

Of honor did we sing

Killing conquering everything

Whenever peace should threaten

Give 'way more books and guns

That every fledgling nation learns

War's lucrative and fun

I count my gold upon a throne

Built of bloody bones,

"Would you like a bible?

"Here's a gun, protect your home..."

-DeRicki
