Morality... and yes, Divinity.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAlmighty, God, and can you hear?\n\nWas it you now, who made the queer one--queer?\n\nWas it to send a message?\n\nTo scorn? To jeer?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nNone of that--and hogwash all.\n\nIt's us; we hear and heed the call\n\nThe need, the want, the hunger\n\nTo cast judgement and be judged.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAnd so, we bend and twist this world\n\nThrough ill proportion render it\n\nA sad and sickened place.\n\nWhat then, when Heaven falls--\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhen the World takes his rightful place?\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
