Let Them Marry
Let Them Marry?
By Elton Camp
If gays should be allowed to marry or not
Has put a lot of people into an ethical spot
Separate from religion the state should be
How it can legally be banned is hard to see
To the convictions of most, it flies in the face
Having been reared to call it a vile disgrace
But should church doctrine by law be forced
Does that mean that religion is thus endorsed
When you marry, it’s harder to go your way
If you do, it’s alimony you may have to pay
Spouses are responsible for a legal mate’s debt
That’s a pretty bad position in which to get
If you decide the marriage was a bad mistake
Legal action to dissolve it you have to take
Unwed gay partners haven’t problems like these
They can simply walk away anytime they please
It makes me wonder if maybe some gay cuss
Has the right to be miserable like the rest of us
