"This is You"

The game that people liked to play

In year 2000 every day,

Was choosing some disgusting fool

And saying this is your whole school.

An ugly person in the news

Is usually who they all would choose

And then retort that “this is you.”

Who steals from kids and kills the Jew.

Your leaders or whoever’s worse

Would be the person they would curse

But they all meant much more by that

And wouldn’t even call you fat.

They wouldn’t say it to your face

But chose a rep to be your race.

And often it would be the vote

Or something bad that someone wrote

So you would feel some horror too

And know that mascot could be you.

And yet the guy who bore the cross

And saved us from eternal loss

Was not the symbol held up high

To lead us back to God’s great sky.

So now as violent mobs will fuss

I hope you know that Christ was us.
