Open Poem to Episcopal Bishop V. Gene Robinson
An Episcopal Bishop says I
Can have sex, if I wish, with a guy
An act damned in the Bible
Yet he claims he's not liable
Thereby living his life in a lie.
Even worse, he would preach this to others
To children, their fathers, their mothers
Though God destroyed Sodom
From the top to the bottom
This lesson the bishop just smothers.
In claiming he knows what God meant
By the biblical words Heaven sent
He dismisses Saints Paul
Peter, Jude, et al
While preaching his words of dissent.
May The Lord help this bishop recover
From his ill-fated choice of a lover
May he give up that life
Reserved for man and wife
And help others the same truth discover.
Composed in Charity,
