THE SOCIALIST'S 23rd PSALM

The following parody was written by two men after they had converted to Christianity from communism (was actually written quite some time ago, but is relevant to today):

The Government is my shepherd;
Therefore, I need not work;
It allows me to lie down on a good job;
It leads me besides the still factories.
It destroys my initiative;
It leads me in the path of a parasite for politic's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of laziness and deficit spending;
I fear no evil, for the Government is with me;
It preparest an economic utopia for me;
By appropriating the earnings of my own grandchildren.
It fills my head with false security;
My inefficiency runneth over.
Surely the Government should care for me all the days of my life;
And I shall live forever in a fool's paradise.
