When Gay Rights are Wrong
Posted: August 8, 2010
Judging by on judge's decision…
Of the people, for the people.
That's our way of life.
But when the people's voice is stilled,
the outcome leads to strife.
You've heard about the judge out west
who overturned the law
believing California's view
on marriage had a flaw.
"How dare you think that God's intent
was what your grandpa said?"
"Don't be old-fashioned," said the judge.
"Embrace new ways instead."
But, Judge, who says that what is new
is better than before?
One can be rich in tolerance,
but morally be poor."
"How can you say that marriage
is between a guy and gal,
when passion flames and lifelong plans
are dreamed between two pals?"
Don't get me wrong, your Honor, sir.
I'm all for equal rights.
But marriage is to be defined
as 'tween a man and wife.
If you start redefining truth,
God knows where it will end.
And you'll be held responsible
for causing us to sin.
