Now here’s a tale about two men born on the selfsame day

Though over ten score years ago they maintain fame today

They’d little more in common than their astrologic sign

But life’s design is not defined by how the stars align

Both lads were steeped in righteous ways to keep their compass straight

As destiny in God’s hand lays… not in the winds of fate

The poor boy learned by dim log cabin light to write and read

The rich boy earned his Cambridge tie to shine his pedigree

Unholy fools debase our schools… their minds are dull and dreary

They blindly replace faith and fact with fantasy and theory

The Origin of Species is their gospel and they spread it

But if what’s true you would pursue… give God a little credit

Charles Darwin found his name renowned by tickling the elite

With far-fetched fabrications of how man became complete

He claimed we’d swum out of pond scum then from that stink evolved

But never once explained the way our ‘missing link’ dissolved

Abe Lincoln paid heed to a creed no heathen could obscure

He gained the wisdom he would need to lead us to endure

He wasted not one moment’s thought on how apes gave us birth

Yet saved a way of life that shall not perish from the Earth

Unholy fools debase our schools… their minds are dull and dreary

They blindly replace faith and fact with fantasy and theory

The Origin of Species is their gospel and they spread it
