Elmer Gantry

This week, we learn that Jerry Falwell  paid
Mike Cohen to suppress salacious news.
Flamboyant hypocrite on his own stage

must now contrive to blame it on the Jews.
The Fundamentalists who form Trump's base,

like sheep queued up where they're enjoined to join
made all the diff'rence in this hair's breadth race,
all bought and paid for in this tainted coin.
This pious fraud, as bad as his old man
sings Pilate's praise and hopes nobody learns
he's swapping photos with a courtesan.

But threatens others that they're gonna burn.
A televangelist with feet of clay

consorts with presidents in pay-to-play.
