Take up the Liberal Mormon’s burden, Send forth the best with degrees
Go risk your fates to excommunication, to serve your lessers’ needs;
To wait in heavy harness, On un-nuanced folk and mild–
Your orthodox, hide-bound Mormons, Half-devil and half-child.
Take up the Liberal Mormon’s burden, In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of Peterson And check his show of pride;
By open speech and academic, An hundred times made nuanced
To seek progressive profit, And work against the prophet
Take up the Liberal Mormon’s burden, The blessed Bloggernacle–
Fill full the realm with PhDs And bid the unlearned scramble;
And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought,
Watch patriarchy and Folly Bring all your hopes to naught.
Take up the Liberal Mormon’s burden, No tawdry rule of GAs,
But words from prof and lawyer, The tales of learned one’s days .
Of temples ye shall complain, The sexist roads they tread,
Go teach them with your learning, And teach them with your head.
Take up the Liberal Mormon’s burden And reap the old reprise:
The blame of those who are lesser, The hate of those you despise–
The cry of hosts ye humor (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:–
“Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved orthodox night?”
Take up the Liberal Mormon’s burden, Ye dare not stoop to less–
Nor call too loud on Big Tent-ism To cloak your hubris;
By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen Mormons Shall weigh your blogs and you.
Take up the Liberal Mormon’s burden, Have done with childish days–
The lightly modest Laurel, The easy, self-congratulatory praise.
Comes now, to search your gender neutral personhood, through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers!
