Sanctity of Love
I hear on the news, rants
and raves, of how groups
seek to destroy the sanctity
of the institution of marriage
but they neglect to mention
the word love, as if poison
and should it cross scowling
lips they would surely die
This seems so formal, professional
as if marriage is a business
and God the CEO, ever striving
to please the stockholders
but love is primal, passionate
without concern for profits
much like the God of the Bible
"because God is love."
Webster claims that sanctity
is Godliness; Peter claims
that God is love, why oh why
then is the Godliness of marriage
so filled with hate, malice,
and the desire to control
what love is pure, what love
deserves to be celebrated
Love is more important
than listening to the windy
whispers of hypocrites
those ungodly servants of God.
So let the politicians
keep their institutions
but stand up to defend
the sanctity of love.
