No Deaths. No Injuries. No Deaths. No Injuries.
No Property damage.
Unlike 16th Street Church blast 
blowing 4 little Black girls to bits.

No Deaths. No Injuries. No Deaths. No Injuries.
No Property damage.
Unlike lil white supremacist snake slithering into
Mother Emanuel and massacring 9 worshippers.

No Deaths. No Injuries. No Deaths. No Injuries.
No Property damage.
Unlike anti-Semitic shooter slaughtering
11 congregants Tree of Life synagogue.

No Deaths. No Injuries. No Deaths. No Injuries.
No Property damage.
Unlike 2,000 lb. bombs vaporizing Palestinian
worshippers, reducing their mosques to rubble …

According to Matthew, Mark, and Luke — they
weren’t violent like a pissed off Jesus. Who whipped ass,
overturned tables, scattered coins of money-changers
who’d turned a house of prayer into a den of thieves.

They practiced that Old Time Religion— the kind
Ma and Pa used to practice. Abided spirituals,
“Go Down, Moses.” Told the truth about Ole Pharaoh
… and acted militantly emancipating Minnesota minds.

They practiced that Old Time Religion — the kind 
Ma and Pa used to practice. Abided spirituals, “Didn’t My Lord
Deliver Daniel” from lions den; Jonah from the whale’s belly?
Surely he’ll deliver Minnesotans from ICE dens? “Let my people go!”

They dared disrupt and expose Judas! Moonlighting minister preaching
pepper-spray gospel. And teargas, tackling, punching, shooting scripture.
Blessing disappearances and masked murders of Minnesotans Monday-
Friday. Fingering his flock with apartheid state surveillance on Sundays.

They came shining light on an apostle worshipping dollars at the altar
of private prison profits. Pastor, pimp-slapping parishioners with less
lethal crucifix. Intoning: “Pray as I pray. Do as I say …” Hypocrite
bearing double-cross, wrecking havoc on working-class community.

They came ripping covers off reverend of repression posing as man of
God. Holy word-mouthing-evangelist, practicing Project 2025 in darkness
of white supremacy. Gaslighting congregants re: savior Jesus Christ dying
on the cross for their sins — fingering others for death in custody of ICE …
