Domestic Parter-Ships
Posted: November 1, 2009
Should their moorage be equal to marriage?
Domestic partner-ships (unanchored)
seek a harbor safe and sound.
Though they sail through life as married,
they're at risk to run aground.
Should these love boats be permitted
to find moorage at the pier
where the tugs and yachts now tie-up
or would such a slip seem queer?
That's the question that's before us:
Should gay couples have the rights
that are granted men and women
who vow love for all their life?
Is this what our culture's come to?
Is perversion now the norm?
Should the crafts of man's invention
find safe harbor from sin's storm?
Have we reached a point in history
where God's Word is rendered wrong?
Where the rhythm of a rapper
has replaced an opera song?
Have the laws of Mother Nature
been in essence redefined?
Has "I want my Father's choices"
given way to "I want mine?"
Will we cave to social pressure
or stand up for what is right?
In the nature-nurture battle,
will we have the faith to fight?
Jesus was a friend of sinners
while objecting to their ways.
Can we not go and do likewise
with both lesbians and gays?
