Religion is politics And politics is religion Probity is corruption And corruption is probity An Apostle is an apostate And an apostate is an apostle The hero is the made villain And the villain is made a hero The judge is the thief And the thief is the judge The panhandlers are the rulers And the rulers are panhandlers The songs of the pure-hearted Is sang to the impure hearted And the songs of impure hearted Is sang to the pure-hearted The singers of hymns In the houses of worship Are the dancers of the songs of schadenfreude in the corridors of powers The preachers of change Are the fathers of misoneism The teachers of truth Are the mothers of mendacity The benefactors of the labour of heroes past Are the mockers of labourers of the present The leaders of today Are the bereaver of tomorrow's leaders Offering the lovers of the bereaved Succour of guilt pleasures Starvation is no more nature's vexation But one man's call on all men Malnutrition is no more than nature's warnings to man But man's inhumanity to all men The janitor of the castle and the fortress of nations Are slain by the king's kinsmen Death is no more nature's call But one man's call on all men
