Swaggert, Bakker, And Haggard Oh My! Poem by Joe Rosochacki

These televangelists have something in common,
They are hypocrites,
these ‘learned’ holy men.
They pimped out Christ for their personal need,
The last one, Haggard,
is far from the last corrupt seed,
Biblical claims, to save your soul,
Among countless of Catholic Priests, they, are not the Trinity,
are the same,
But perhaps Ted Haggard is different,
he might have thought he was kind of a ‘Seth’,
Perhaps Cain, before he killed Abel, like Haggard, tried meth.
Ted is far from heavenly perfection,
Is it I, that should be throwing rocks at Haggard, -?
Hey Ted they’re not ‘crack’.
Sodom and Gomorrah is not a biblical geography from here,
- in time and space,
For within the Christian Evangelical Community, it’s right in our face.
