busybodies now busy policing women’s bodies
when they’re not celebrating shooting without a license

pendulum swing could be foretold in 1982
when middle of the road Governor Mark White
had the absolute nerve to enact No Pass, No Play
intended to make high school athletes get passing grades
before they could play the Holy Game of Football on Fridays
there was a rebellion and a stunted notion of freedom even then
and Mark White was defeated for re-election

the sidewinder snake with an appetite for Lone Star Beer
and a SECEDE bumper sticker on the back of his pickup
became hungry to enforce simple values on everyone
and, later, simpleton governors like GWB and Rick Perry
plus Greg Abbott acting the role of fiddle-playing Covid patient
had no trouble offering laws and protections for the snake to excrete

kids get sick, teachers die, a school closes
but that doesn’t matter to the angry freedom bludgeoning people
making it harder to vote, impossible to think for yourself

this is what you get when you wrap bloody meat selfishness
inside the tamale husk of performative righteousness
allegedly in Jesus’ name
