The Black National Anthem

A Cherub choir, in their children's voices
Sing a traditional hymn, and the crowd boos.
An overrated Christian Hedonist
Sings the national anthem, and botches every note.
The crowd cheers... Personally, I was offended
By the absolutely third rate number she did
To my cherished Star Spangled Banner.
The children singing their hymn
Didn't offend me at all.
The word for that is hypocrisy.
