A Defeat for Humanity (Poem)

Apparently a union between two people
is a defeat for humanity,
so says a Vatican Cardinal.
Because Jesus's mission was to separate,
subjugate, and discriminate,
not redeem, forgive,
and bring together again.

You'd think a Cardinal would know better.
I will tell you what a defeat for humanity is.

A defeat for humanity
is when neighbours hate each other
for their differences and appearances.
A defeat for humanity
would be bowing down to an oppressive regime,
instead of rising up in righteous rebellion.
Humanity will be defeated
when empathy has died,
and all stand opposed to each other.

This so-called Vatican Cardinal
is no bringer of hope and forgiveness,
but of fear and condemnation.
If Jesus lived today,
he would not travel to Ireland,
but rather to Vatican City,
as he spends his time on the sinners who need the most help.

Gay marriage is not a defeat for humanity.
It is a glorious and holy victory!
Ireland has chosen acceptance over fear,
love over hate,
reason over stupidity!
They stand now as an example
that we can become more than we are!

But if this is a defeat for humanity,
then, looking at the state of the world,
we could use a hundred more defeats.
