On Divorce Outside Marriage

Distempers wheeze and spread among us all,

Disgust with them is flaring left and right,

The Western way from start was bound to fall,

To flab, decay, addiction, malaise, blight.

Our agency as individual

Will differentiate at risk of pride,

More closely bound collectively to all

A tolerance of difference shall abide.

The test for who should get an equal share

Depends on nothing anyone can change,

As being present here on Earth is fair

As any plan that any would arrange.

Authoritarians, give up your thrones

And join the world each human member owns.
