Ok So here is my assignment:

Part 3: Compose a poem in the voice of you poet and write about any topic  as long as its appropriate.

So I chose Bob Dylan as my person. And decided to do a parody of "Desolation Row". Tell me what you think.



They're selling postcards of the chapel,
Capitalism is blazing.
The church is filled with reporters
Because John Kerry is in town.
Here come the blind parishioners
He's got them in a trance,
The faithful priests are restless
They wanna tell him where to go,
But at the mass they celebrate tonight
He will desecrate the Host.

In comes Father Pavone, he's saying
"You Belong to Satan I Believe"
He tells Kerry, "You're in the wrong place,
my friend you better leave".
The only sound that's left
After the collection baskets go by
Is John Kerry lining up                                                          for a hypocrites Holy Communion
To desecrate the Host

Now Kerry tries to stay hidden
From the hecklers chanting outside
shouting their disapproval
of John Kerry the fake Catholic                                          who thinks its okay to be                                         ‘supporting the dismemberment of babies’1                                  Protesters are raising Cain                                                         and the Archbishop of Paulist Center in Boston                   He's dressing, getting ready for the show
Kerry's going to the cathedral tonight
To desecrate the Host.

Now Mrs. Heinz Kerry
Her Republican family is so liberal
That she married a Democrat.
To her, death is quite romantic
When it's done to the unborn.
Her profession's her religion.                                              Heaven forbid that she pay much in taxes,                                Fifteen percent of "$45000"2                                                per week is rather much.                                                    Why use it for the betterment of society,                            when that would be the intelligent                                          yet hypocritic thing to do                                                       for her husband’s campaign.
She joins her husband at every mass
To desecrate the Host

Under a painting of Jesus on the cross
They're getting ready for Easter mass
Again He rises from the dead
In the image of a priest
They're spoonfeeding the faithful
To make them feel more assured
Then they'll bloat Kerry with self-confidence
After flattering him with words
And protesters shout                                                              Get out of here! Don’t you know?
John Kerry will be punished in Hell,
for he desecrates the Host"

Now at midnight all the agents
Of the tyrant Department of Homeland Security
Come out and round up everyone
They send spacecraft to Neptune
And strike Iraq at dawn.

The Draft will be imminent                                                    No matter who takes office.                                                 "We’re in to deep we can’t back down now!"                          That’s what politicians say
And everybody's shouting
"Which Side Are You On?"                                               Each death is another way
To desecrate the Host.

Now, Clinton could take communion
At some Baptist church in Alabam'
Because they think that once you're saved
You'll never, ever be damned
All these politicians that I mention
Yes, I believe that they're quite lameI do not feel too good
About how some churches stoop so low
And how the politicians tend
To desecrate the Host
