Sings songs of worship,
sing songs of praise
Working yourself
into the craze
Then you will break
your will not your own
There on bended knee
before a great throne
Now you will listen,
Now you will forget
all your own ideas
for they are the threat
Follow the leader
is the only game here
Being the black sheep
becomes your worst fear
Once you are calmed
under their trance
it is far too late
you haven't a chance
Follow the leader
with fear of damnation
Welcome Christianity
Opiate of our nation...

Well, here's indeed a condemning poem, although built on an impression that's not very accurate. I can tell you as a matter of experience, it's a small fraction of Christian churches that sound anything like this, and if you wanted to criticize American churches, fervor and/or blind devotion is among the least applicable choices. I wonder how much you know of what you speak.

Another political piece - this time bringing religion into it. At least if I did place on some of my political work I'm sure you'd understand it!
This is an impressive piece! I really like the 4th stanza!
