Emma Bonino - a lost Beatles song

Ah, look at all the stupid people!
Ah, look at all the stupid people!
Emma Bonino killed all the kids
In the womb with a bicycle pump -
Ten thousand dead.
Speaks in a church now,
Wearing the face that has launched many thousands of deaths.
What is it for?

All the stupid people,
Where do they all come from?
All the stupid people,
Where do they all belong?
Papa Francisco
Writing the words of a sermon that no one believes.
No one comes near.
Praises Bonino,
Says she is great, though she thinks rather differently.
What does he care?

All the stupid people,
Where do they all come from?
All the stupid people,
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the stupid people!
Ah, look at all the stupid people!
Emma Bonino died in her sins
And was buried and went down to Hell.
Nobody cared.
Papa Francisco wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave.
No one was saved!

All the stupid people (Ah, look at all the stupid people!)
Where do they all come from?
All the stupid people (Ah, look at all the stupid people!)
Where do they all belong?

  1. As they used to say on American Bandstand's Rate the Record - I rilly like it. I like the beat and the words. I'd give it an A+ for shure.

  2. "Do not let me hear
    Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly,
    Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession,
    Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God."

    And (pari passu, in a spirit of gender equality) the same goes for some old women.

  4. "No one was saved!" That's just it. No one will be converted to Christ through Pope Francis' recognition of devout sinners and their love of wickedness.

    If the Church exists to lead man to God, and the Pope is not doing that, then who is he sitting on the Throne of Peter for, i.e., whose ways is he directing man toward? Is Francis there to point the way to Heaven, or instead is he directing man on the downward path to Hell?

    He sits at the up/down pivot point does he not? However, all paths do not lead to Heaven, even though Francis seems to think so....unless...unless...? Just a thought.
