Breakup for Bentley

SO supportive of "traditional" marriage

Is Alabama Governor Bentley

That he speaks out against same-sex

Unions, which he attacks intently.

 

According to him, "non-traditional"

Marriages deny the children to be

Connected to their biological

Parents. But, he fails to see

 

That "biological" is REALLY not

The operative word. Bentley's wrong.

Many loving relationships aren't

Biological, and yet they're strong.

 

In addition, not all married

Couples plan to have children, so

Let's remember: many reasons

For getting married are apropos.

 

Bentley claims that the ONLY way

For ALL is the biblical marriage arrangement,

Which, in his particular case,

Has become a conjugal estrangement.

 

Yes, Bentley is getting a divorce.

So much of his talk is pure baloney.

His wife says that he "destroys

The legitimate aims of matrimony."

 

So that which Bentley can't make work

For himself he would like to deny

Others from having--a loving, caring

Marriage commitment. What a guy!

 

Would Bentley's ideal biblical marriage

Perhaps be more along the lines

Of that of King Solomon who--they say--

Had ONE THOUSAND wives and concubines?
