Ruining Route 66

I thought by now they'd all be gone

the blind ones who put faith in Gods

thinking faith would be replaced by fact

in futuristic days of scientific blogs

I thought by now we'd be aligning well

with grand truths of atheism and science

thinking great men like Hitchens and Sagan

would be honored by our trust and alliance

I thought by now all tyrants would be gone

along with hypocrites without open minds

thinking when I awoke in the here and now

this backwards reality 'tis not what I'd find
