Call in the lefties,
those rambunctious boys,
to hammer and clamor
and make lots of noise.
Fill folks with fear.
Tell them some lies.
Make them stay home
under health safety guise.
Bark out strict orders.
You have the potential
to keep open businesses
you deem essential.
Use some scare tactics
of falsely called science,
lest the masses get wise
and rise up in defiance.
Daily and nightly
spew out fake news.
Blind obedience of people
you don’t want to lose.
************************
Call the true Christians
to get on their knees
and cry out to God
in desperate pleas
for wisdom to know
how to fight the corruption
that oozes and flows
like volcanic eruption,
for restoration of freedom
that teeters and lurches
threatening long closure
of our much needed churches,
for courage to speak,
the gospel, still spread
and boldly declare
our God is not dead!
Our grit is not sufficient
God of battle, our Lord.
Give us the strength
to wield your sword.
Use common folks
like you and like me
to help us preserve
sweet liberty.

Ephesians 6:12-18 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
