Vow Out

“One of the biggest kicks a person can have is a feeling of righteous indignation.” ~ Alan Watts, in a recorded talk titled “Reality, Art, and Illusion” (1965) If gay folks can marry, is marriage worth less? Your love and attachment worth nothing, of course Or maybe those just don’t exist – let’s confess You’d rather they cheapen the cost of divorce. If gay folks can marry, does that mean God failed? Deny they came out swinging as you despise – Makes sense to assert that God would’ve prevailed Had man skipped the paperwork that sanctifies. If gay folks can marry, say who is worse off? The billions of us, dear, engaging in sex? Our billions more children won’t have room to scoff Or private space left to repeat such prospects. If gay folks can marry, so what’s it to you? The sanction of hedonists’ day in the sun That you’d rather darken when this is what’s true: You’re jealous to miss out on all of the fun. ~ Thanks Always Returns
