Just Another Brick, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)
His letter to the Danbury Baptists
Was eloquently dear for the republic
Separation of Church and State was quite clear
The glaring absence, absolutely no presence
Of the words “Jesus” “Bible” “Christian”
Was a deliberate omission in the Constitution
Jefferson’s Virginia Religious Freedom Act
Became Maddison’s 1rst Amendment model
The founders did enact
In the Constitution’s Oath Of Office
“No religious test”
Makes the neutral obvious
To claim this nation “Christian”
Is theocratic and spurious
Subjugating and injurious
Barbary Treaty article 11
Blatantly says in unambiguous terms
We are not based on the Christian religion
“Question with boldness”
Jefferson’s famous quote
Paine’s stance on pulpit politics
Was hardly remote
They do need an education
All in all, they do need
More bricks in the wall.
