The Singular Truth about Polygamy

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: April 27, 2008

Why less is more…

"Not good that man should be alone,"
the Lord was heard to say.
But did He mean "Get all you can?
The FLDS way?"

Down in the Lone Star state you'll find
a lack of lonely men
who yearn for Zion and then wed
not once but one times ten.

Polygamy is most absurd.
One man with many wives?
Wise Solomon was known for that
but died a fool deprived.

"Deprived of what?" you likely ask.
Deprived of what I've known.
The joy of giving all of me
to one and one alone.

Polygamists don't understand
that sex is more than fun.
They never know that special bond
of two becoming one.

They do not know the simple truth
that Eve and Adam knew.
That marriage is complex enough
when it involves just two.
