Maybe they’ll realize that he doesn’t deserve a literature prize for writing leftist songs.

He songs are not Leftist. He refused the opportunity to become the spokesman for the Left rather emphatically in fact.
I would say that initially the songs were about injustice and social issues. Since the 60s they have been personal reflections on his world and life and that of the Nation. Christian songs have been important since the 80s when he was born again.
