Written by Satan

The Bill of Rights was written by Satan.

When I read them in high school, I was old enough.

I can’t find them anywhere since then. 

I guess no one is old enough.

.

Some were okay; we saved number 2 and 3 and 16.

We have some soldiers staying with us now.

And mom has two guns to keep us safe.

.

Some black kid punched my brother.

Everyone saw. He got sent up.

A criminal is a criminal is a criminal, okay?

.

I got pregnant. It was my own damned fault.

So I’ll raise the kid, on the street if need be.

It was my own damned fault.

.

Another hurricane ran through where Florida used to be.

It may be because me and some other girls got knocked up,

Or some queers are still around. Not sure.

.

There’s some remember the so-called Bill of Rights and such.

Luckily they’re dying off.

We are, and will always be, a Christian Nation.
