Mary Did You Know? The Purely Scientific Version Poem by Robert Rorabeck

Mary, did you know, that we evolved from monkeys?
Mary, did you know, that religion is a tool of ideological capitulation?
Did you know that our next president won
On an openly racist ticket?
That America's brand of Christianity is in service to the almighty dollar?

Mary did you know that human rights should take precedence over
The pigmentation of a person's color?
Mary did you know that before 1848, half of America belonged to Mexico?
Did you know that your baby boy has been taken out of context?
Did you know that the Golden Rule is not in service in our country?

Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?

The sighted cannot see, the eared cannot hear, and The Walking Dead is on at 10?
That the only salvation is through science and the progressive attitudes of common kindness between common men.

Mary, did you know that your son was Jewish?
Mary, did you know that on January 20th Donald Trump will rule our nation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy has been perverted by the racists?
This sleeping child that you are holding is a prop for a million sleep-walking man-children?

Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?
