Christianist Charity
Christianist Charity
What’s happening in Shea’s distorted mind?
It’s the campaign for Stella that he curses
Today. His ringing rhetoric disperses
All charitable givers he can find.
Against their vile presumption he’s aligned.
Their condemnation fiercely he rehearses.
The generous should not help with reverses!
That’s for the state! How can you be so blind?
Actual reason, though? The sucker’s cheap
And wouldn’t give a penny to help out.
His own tin cup is resonant and deep,
And it should take priority, no doubt.
He wants to put his conscience back to sleep.
His twisted ego’s what it’s all about.
