HAMILTON, SHMAMILTON

by Kenneth J. Purscell




We could argue all day long
On where the Founders stood 
Regarding things like Christ and church
And Triune personhood.

And some who do so feel compelled
To stand and testify,
To preach and rescue souls because
They fear the End is nigh.

But when "producing" Broadway shows,
Believers must get real.
You'd think a church should not forget
The Law: "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!"


Kenneth J. Purscell is a retired retail cashier, adjunct professor, and pastor. He has been published sporadically, but has made submission more of a habit. He lives with his wife Koni in the south suburbs of Chicago. And he apologizes to Lin-Manuel, who probably could have done this better.
