Kicked in the spiritual
privates
in anything but private way
by a council of three gays and
three alpha females
with a big grudge to pay,
the offending church members
had their wings clipped
in a very rude way.
They had tried to point out a
pastoral exploitation
but the exploited leaders
lowered a boom
writing see you later
not anytime soon,
if ever, preferably, never.
Those leaders were right for
all the wrong reasons,
but God’s will was done
in a due season.
The straight couple learned
that gays
aren’t perfect people,
but like all others on life’s way
are still entitled to all rights preached
as Jesus would say
under a short or tall steeple.
They, like all, are fragile, sinful
people,
exhibiting all the
traits of Abel and Cain,
making it all so much better
to be judged rejected
but still spiritually sane.
In spite of those early and late
who said, ignorantly, as they
did with Jesus, bugger off, mate,
what is the Christian way?
Clearly, stand up for all,
straight and gay.
Stand up for all … because we all need help … ain’t no one who can make it alone … and condemning others doesn’t make us stronger … though sometimes the cauldron of little places, with little people fussing around with little things becomes an impossible soup … best to push the bowl of soup away and let it cool, or maybe just congeal …
