Ted Haggard

A poem about his fall from grace...
This man of faith, this evangelist
this messenger of god
this poster child of Christian right
is nothing but a fraud

This champion of causes that
denounced all that was gay
was a heterosexual when at work
and a faggot when at play

I do not think I’ve ever seen
a bigger hypocrite
he preached by day, got high at night
and engaged in freaky kind of shit

He used the bible and his charm
he lied and he deceived
and I will never understand
why countless folks in him believed

This man of faith, this evangelist
this messenger of god
this poster child of Christian right
is nothing but a fraud
