Society mocks
abstinence; but God detests
all fornicators.

God gives us sacred
purity; society
offers sex. Who's right?

Beautiful poetry, honestly. But I can't help but share my opinion that god should be separate from society since that's a personal choice and society is general life Still, your message is wonderfully conveyed and you deserve all the praise you receive

in the end, that's what it is. religion and society will give you a biased perspective as to what you should think about this topic. however, you as the vessel of your body are the one that decides your actions. thanks for sharing you two

that's true, i think, to some degree. i'm not here to say who's right or wrong, because ultimately what works for someone doesn't work for someone else. however, it's great knowing we can all relate to this waging war.

it would :) not one that i'm really fond of, but i'm happy it's making people share their opinions and thoughts on this subject. poetry should do this, engage us in important themes.
