A Purpose Driven Sonnet

The Rev’rend Doctor Warren, seems to me

would like to have his cake and eat it too

regarding homosexuality.

Alas, his fork-ed tongue is nothing new.

“Let me be clear what God’s own Word intends:

that sex outside of marriage is a sin.”

And marriage as a union he defends:

no other than a man and woman, kin.

But killing gays perhaps does go astray;

let’s not forget what Jesus did command:

that dignity for all be his new Way,

upon that rock the church must take a stand.

Um, Rick? My sexuality is ME.

Shut UP already ‘bout my dignity.

‘mkay?
