The Finer Things in Life

It's just like the title says; in this case it's about romance and my opinion on what I think is right and wrong and how religion can sometimes try and get in the way of 'the finer things in life'.

I wish the people who despise

The finer things in life:

That a man can be with a man

Or a woman with her wife

But it's perfectly ok

For them to turn the world grey

And say that a man must take a mistress

-And it will all be ok!

I wish they'd realize

That they're making no sense

With the words that they speak;

They're not common sense!

If they'd only take a good hard look

In the Big Fat Book

Then surely they would see

What they misunderstood

That He does Not hate

The finer things in life:

That a man could be with a man, or a woman with her wife...

Cause we love who we love

Whether they're make Or female

And they say that love is blind

As is The Creator's love

For those who self-deprecate,

Turning this world into a place of hate.

Where the gay fish can sometimes be sent- running, screaming- to the shore,

When somebody shouts: ''gay fish shouldn't inhabit this ocean- no, no more!''

Where a neighbour can turn a blind eye on their once dear friend,

Allowing then to suffocate in a land without amends.

But God told us Not to hate;

He told us to love

Our neighbours like ourselves,

So why Shouldn't one man shack in another man's house?

Gay people shouldn't marry straight people

Or straight people gays

But that Doesn't mean we need live with someone whom we don't really love till the end of our days,

Because God gives us choices in life,

And that would be a very silly choice to make.

Author's Note

I want everyone who reads this to know that I do not mean to offend anyone with this poem; it is merely my personal opinion. I also do not hate fellow Christians who are homophobic or homophobic people full-stop, nor do I believe that All other religious people are disapproving of non-straight people; as obviously this isn't the case.
