A WARNING


DARK RESURRECTION

BY FLYING JOHN

My children, you've finally joined me, though it's taken you some time.

To see things just like I did, thank God you're now so kind.

No longer will you tolerate suffering, that's the same choice I once made.

At times you'll have to kill of course, but that's a simple trade.

I started out with simpletons, then next the mentally ill.

They weren't really people you know, only suffering things to kill.

I did it for their own sake, to help them end their pain.

To save the human race my friends, and the helpless from their shame.

I saved their families suffering too, all those burdens of their disgrace.

Like you do for unborn children, my friends, it's the same in either case.

Besides, what does God know anyway, about suffering and disdain.

It's not his choice but ours my friends, to put an end to pain.

So now you've come to mercy killing, so noble is such a deed.

To save poor wretches destined to die, from the suffering they do not need.

Of course, these decisions are difficult, for a common person to choose.

But soon the State will make the choice, and your guilt you'll quickly lose.

So now that you've come this far, there's something else you see.

There are many others suffering here, you should also set them free.

There are old folks and Jews, and Catholics too, with sufferings they disguise.

Then hundreds of other misfit types, that complicate our lives.

For killing isn't murder you know, when it puts an end to strife.

It's merely the right of choice you see, when it simplifies our life.

Soon you'll be able to save them all, when your new laws find their place.

Be proud, my children, as you continue my work, this comforting of human waste.

Who am I you ask, having chosen my path, with compassion you need not explain?

Why, I'm the devil's advice, now America's Christ, Adolph Hitler is my merciful name.

How sad that our nation has embrased all these evils.

I do not like the play on words to Jesus Christ's resurrection and the slipperry slope. Please tell me your view.
