I.
In holy matrimony, they hold hands
Because
Because
They are in love, they are to raise children together,
They are to be envied by all their single friends,
They are to feel the safety and comfort of having someone to come home to.
We march, rally, and protest the law
We use media, literature, art to spread our plight
Because
We too want to hold hands,
We too want to hold hands,
To rear love, children, envy, safety, comfort,
As reassurance that they and we are now equal,
That we are so quickly progressing towards societal acceptance,
Thanks
But
Slow down, step back, a mathematical logic problem, an oft-overlooked given,
Did they make the right assumption?
In holy matrimony.
II.
Selfish is my freedom,
Take from their investment
In marriage and commitment.
Wallow in childhood comfort
Created for me
But not from me
To unborn children.
Selfish but great is my freedom
Laugh all the way to the grave
With cradle cake still in mouth.
Care and wisdom handed down
Cumulative receiver am I
Walk with each step,
A gem in my belly.
But they, a man and a woman,
Trudge through remaining days,
Taken of their investment
In marriage and commitment
Sallow in stagnant stability
Created for society
But not for them
Walk with each step,
A stone in their belly.
