Big Butch Barks Back: Protesting the Protesters

BIG BUTCH BARKS BACK

Created for some of the more raw and painful aspects of growing up different. Sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always honest. Sometimes, the language is very harsh because pain is not gentle.

I am determined to chronicle all aspects of living with absolute candor and genuineness. It allows a connection with others at a deep soul level because they see that you understand their struggles when you reveal your own. If you are offended by cursing or expect the beauty you see on my other blog, Whisper Creek, then you may want to avoid this one. This is the very human side of me, the one God plainly sees. It is the part that God is healing. Let that be my witness.

Protesting the Protesters

Holdin' up your big bad signs

holier-than-thou programmed mimes

thinkin' that you can define

all that God has had in mind.

You trying to hate us into love

for the Righteous One above

but you can't do that with a shove

but with the peace of the holy dove.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just sayin'

you ain't on your knees, no you ain't prayin'

instead you're seriously dismayin'

with all your hate filled displayin'.

The signs read "Its YOU God Hates!"

Yet its God's name you desecrate

with a hate filled heart you lay in wait

to beat with Bibles, to scream and berate.

It don't take Einstein's big brain

to tell you that this crazy campaign,

this marketing of religious disdain

ain't God's way, but quiet insane.

So I'm protesting YOU today

don't matter if we're straight or gay

God can keep the haters at bay

so we only see HIM and find our way.

Dear Lord, I pray.
