GOD MADE SEX

The politically left-leaning crowd,

Is sinfully, smugly proud,

Of the corner they think they hold on sex.

They revel in sexual pleasures,

Purposely trespassing standard measures,

(“Claiming” the concave is convex.)

 

The left down-dreading crowd,

Ignores sexual-disease’s shroud,

With full chambers, playing roulette.

But thinking all along,

They invented sex’s simple song,

Promiscuity, they do not regret;

 

Unmindful that the God they love to hate,

Is/was never at loss, nor late,

He – God invented female and male.

God did man a joy provide,

An opposite-sex wife at his side,

“Married sex” makes others  pale.

“MY DEAR SON:

In your letter of the 18th January to your mother, you mentioned that you read to your aunt a chapter in the Bible… This information gave me real pleasure; for so great is my veneration for the Bible, and so strong my belief, that when duly read and meditated on, it is of all books in the world, that which contributes most to make men good, wise, and happy…The Bible contains the revelation of the will of God. It contains the history of the creation of the world, and of mankind; and afterward the history of one peculiar nation, certainly the most extraordinary nation that has ever appeared upon the earth…”
