A HOOVERCRAT'S PRAYER
Forgive me, Oh Lord, for voting for Hoover,
Forgive me for betraying my country!
For it was I that spilled the innocent blood
of the Veteran.
For it was I that terrified their women and
children.
It was I that killed babies with gas and star-
vation,
And drove them out at the point of the
bayonet.
It was I that burned their last earthly pos-
sessions,
And drove them to starvation in the midst of
plenty.
We thought him another Abe Lincoln,
But Abe Lincoln would never attack women
and children
We thought him another George Washington,
But Washington would never have sent tanks
against veterans,
Nor answered the cry for bread with prods of
the bayonet.
Guide me to the polls in November that I
may in part
Atone for the wrong I have done my country,
That I may wash my hands clean of the blood
of the veterans,
That I may still the cry of the hungry women
and children.
Help me remove the tear of sorrow from the
eyes of Him who said,
"Suffer the little ones to come unto me,
For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Amen.
