Illegitimacy

If there is something you can’t control,
Condone it!
If there’s a law that restricts your sould,
Disown it.

For marriage now is an old fashioned thing,
A relic;
Replace it with “Let’s you and I have a fling–“
(Angelic?)

If you’ve a sin which has been your goal,
Go to it–
You’d like to upset the gold-fish bowl?
Why, DO it!

If any sin gets beyond our reach–
(Let’s face it:)
Will God stand by and see us each
Embrace it?

You can dress it up in a fancy name
That’s tony–
However slicked, it is staill the same
Baloney.

No some think freedom and liberty
Mean unrestricted license for you and me;

But, if you don’t mind, I fear that I
Will stay thew same old-fashioned guy.
