 Marriage Law Imbroglio
It Takes Two to Tango


By PAUL HERTELENDY

The warring factions show no mercy,
Close to violence debating this year’s marriage controversy.
Injecting my opinion, my stand is adamant,
As I impose my argument most vehement.
This heated melee institutional
Boils down to precedent and principle, mandating maybe
an amendment constitutional.

Excuse my arrogance, but what is right must be defended strongly,
Doubly so when others lose all sight, or argue issues wrongly.
The nub, I do believe, is, whether in the court or under steeple,
Marriage has to be a contract made between two people.
