Moloch in America

Because I’m heart-broken about the school shooting that just happened in Florida:
 
Moloch in America
©February 16th, 2018
By Vijaya Sundaram
 
Moloch is here, in this Christian land.
Moloch is here to stay.
Moloch molests and slays the young
Moloch is here to stay.
 
Moloch comes like a monster by day
Moloch, a monster by night
Moloch comes with a gun in his hand,
Moloch, the god of alt-right.
 
Moloch is never satisfied.
To Moloch, the Stupid pray.
Moloch is never to be denied.
To Moloch, they never say nay.
 
Moloch wants kids, and spreads his seed.
Moloch, with icy breath,
Gives his command, takes over the land,
Moloch, the bringer of death.
 
What will you say to the NRA,
When your young are all sacrificed?
No more life, and no more death,
For Moloch is satisfied.
