Dirty Books
At least we got the Bible out of the schools,
all that violence and vulgarity
no better for elementary school kids
than the so-called danger of LGBTQ books.
Davis County’s always had its problems,
standing out even in a state as white as Utah,
widespread racial harassment throughout
the school district, hundreds of complaints
simply ignored by the local authorities.
A few years back, a school-bus driver
slammed the doors
on a biracial kid’s backpack,
dragging him along a few hundred feet.
So I was glad when one of the parents
leveraged the new law aimed at LGBTQ authors
to complain about the “pornographic content”
of the Bible, to get that “sacred text” banned, too.
Of course, they established a “committee”
to review the request,
all that filth in “Song of Songs”
about his sister’s vagina tasting like wine,
her breasts being “pleasing” to him,
the part in Numbers about raping a three-year-old girl.
Finally, the committee agreed the Bible
was a “challenging read” for children,
best taught and discussed in the home.
The best part? Watching my neighbor,
that smug, hypocritical bigot,
fuss and fume about how the country
was going to hell.
