Wistful Hinterland





We’d like a ring, are you listening,
Equal rights, they’re resisting
A frightening sight,
The doctrinal right
Talkin’ ‘bout a sinner, want it banned.

Gone away is the blue state bird,
“Gone astray,” bigots controvert
LGBT,
Equality,
Walkin’ in a wistful hinterland.

Rachel Maddow could say that’s a straw man,
To pretend that we all get around

She’ll say, “Are you married?”
We’ll say, “Oh, man!
Not as long as they conspire
To run this town.”

Blather on ‘bout Hellfire,
Heard it all from the prior
We’ll face unafraid,
The plans that we’ve made,
Something that they just can’t understand.
