Repulican Platform
by 
Written by Stewart Acuff
God is missing from the Republican platform
Of course He is
Would God lend morality to hatred and the
Judgement of one human being of another?
God is missing from the Republican platform
Are we to be surprised? Shocked? Amazed?
After all, the Republican platform has no
Room but repudiation for so many of God’s
Children
Repudiation for who we love
Remember God is Love
Repudiation of the Poor
Remember Jesus said “In as much as ye have
Done it unto the least of these,
Ye have done it unto me.”
God is missing from the Republican platform
Remember The Carpenter with the hard,
Calloused hands used to working with wood
And stone said,
“It is harder for a camel to get through the
Eye of a needle than for the rich to enter
The Kingdom of Heaven.”
God is missing from the Republican platform.
