How the gay agenda stands to divide our nation

It’s not the Union and the South,
but it’s a Civil War.
As same-sex unions meet the law,
I’m dreading what’s in store.

Like Roe v. Wade, what’s right’s at risk.
The battle lines are drawn.
What’s normal is now up for grabs
and so the fight is on.

The rights of gays will not be left
behind in this campaign.
They’ll be debated long and loud
as candidates take aim.

Our nation will be ripped in two.
The death toll may be high.
If gays and lesbians win out,
the truth is what will die.

Why gay marriage is an oxymoron

When the Lord created marriage,
it was clear He had a plan.
He designed a lifetime union
‘tween a woman and a man.
He intended they’d have children.
That is why their bodies fit.
And this opposite attraction
was the world’s survival kit.
Married man and married woman
is a universal norm,
though the ceremonies vary
as do licenses and forms.
Just ask Webster, he will tell you.
Marriage means a groom and bride.
That’s inherent in its meaning.
There is nothing else implied.
It assumes that men and women
(anatomically distinct)
pledge commitment to be faithful
with a kiss and pen and ink.
Marriage is a holy calling.
It’s a contract of two lives.
It’s a legal binding promise
made by husbands and their wives.
It’s a bond God sees as sacred.
It’s a covenant of love.
It’s a metaphor of Oneness
like the Trinity above.

The rules of college football are changing

The talent in high school gets better each year.
It’s a gridiron garden it seems.
And colleges vie for the cream of the crop
in hopes of fulfilling their dreams.

They try to impress those they want to enroll.
There are letters and phone calls and gifts.
Both coaches and scouts will do all that they can
to convince them their school’s the best fit.

So what does it take for a school to succeed?
Big scholarships, payoffs and more.
They wine them and dine them and tempt them (off field)
by showing them new ways to score.

It’s more than a game played with pigskin on grass.
Though some call it football, it’s not.
Recruiters are guilty of offensive fouls.
What’s quite out of bounds needs to stop.

An appeal to the High Court to leave the Lord alone

If not “under God,” then whom are we under?
If He’s not in charge, then who is? I wonder.
A phrase on our money declares Whom we trust.
Is it just a slogan corroded with rust?
Though now it is lawful to sing Irving’s song,
will “God Bless America” soon be deemed wrong?
Yet are we one nation except under Him?
To make such a claim is an ungrounded whim.
Because all our framers were mindful of God,
to absent Him fully is treasonous fraud.
The woman who raises a torch in her hand
stands ready to welcome the world to our land.
But God is not welcome. There’s no room, it seems,
for Him who gave rise to America’s dream.
How dare we be God-less. How foolish indeed,
when He is the reason our nation was freed.
The Pledge without God’s name is best left unsaid.
To say it without Him suggests He is dead.
And so I’m appealing to those gowned in black
that our Pledge of Allegiance be maintained intact.
