The wall had been built
strong and sturdy it was
it kept the state
from dictating religion
It's purpose to insure
that all men, women too
could believe, or not
worship, or not
in short to have their own faith
and that all may be treated as equals
It was built
to stop the witch burnings
to end the persecution of the baptists
to bestow upon all men, women too
the freedom to have their own faith
The differences were many
folks seemed to get stupid
thinking
“There's only one way
and that's mine”
“Laws should be made to
give me advantage”
“After all
can't you see God is mine”
They picked up the sledge
started hammering away at the wall
attempting to mold it, shape it, yes
change it
and with all this pounding it started
to fall
They were claiming the first
and yes they've that right
what they forgot
was the first was for all
they had picked the wrong fight
Then the fourteenth was born
to bolster the wall
build it back up
to insure to all
their rights be protected
but that wasn't enough
the hammering continued
and the state said
“ENOUGH”
“All have these rights
and you've no right
to deny them”
You claim you're non-profit
you've been given the freedom
to worship and believe as you wish
and in your church build your kingdom
But if you're licensed as business
I know this sounds hollow
but you've really no choice
it's the laws of the land you must
follow
You've been given protection
and what did you do
started tearing it down
tell me
Who's encroached upon who?
