Somatic Symmetry

Have we ever considered with diligence
about the obstacles

attached on the conscience
like pesky barnacles?

Obstacles of somatic symmetry

heartbroken dignity raising bigotry

obstacles life and society would pose and gather

before falling head over heels with one another.

   People observing us
from the outside looking in

   whenever grey clouds form upon us
becoming heavy, closing in.

Spiteful people who rise to the occasion

people that use all kinds of dissuasion

  trying to salvage some integrity
and right our ship

people who rejoice
at the sight of a tiny dent

  when one on our relationship
is made evident.

Finding ourselves in the darkest hour

we become easy prey which they devour

with once pure love now covered in grime

seeing us in doubt haters waste no time

they label us an inexpiable crime.

Cuts deep into the heart

 ourselves to be responsible for tearing us apart

  we for allowing them among us to sow distrust

we with them turn our romance to rust

give in to snide commentary driven by scorn

becoming paper-thin love to tiny pieces torn.

Wisemen say,
we are oblivious or so they claim

blind to barriers
we can't break through nor tame

so we already have lost the game.

Unconquerable barriers set in stone
facts we knew

race, religion, ethics, traditions
and nature's keystone
to name a few.

  Purport,
like prosecutors in court
 we violate the natural laws
twisting our sex

  abominations and living flaws
existing only for normalcy to vex

 as if it's unnatural
for tantamounts to be attracted
yet natural

feelings from nature's equation to be subtracted.

Assert,
in concert
that race is another deal-breaker

racially congruous matchmaking is success

as such,
we are an anti-conformist interracial mess

our love life a faker

little do they realize
these ignoramus asses

we don't see our love
through racially tinted glasses.

  Exclaim,
preachers putting us to shame
that we jeopardize ethics
ruining the aesthetics

even though we're deeply committed
still setting bad examples

while the righteous straight
live on deceitfully uncommitted

 stealthily tasting body samples
relishing in strange passions.

  On tradition they say,
it gives humans purpose
in disregard of alimony
heterosexual matrimony

the normative end-pose
creating distinctive structural mainstay

assurance to suppress societal leeway

deter it from falling down
debauchery's gangway.

Still they oversee,
the fact we also can comply

  to basic ethical limits
stemming from one divine supply

we too can exchange
vows of companionship
without having to range

nor being fazed
by lack of extended kinship.

Using religions,
congregants they confess

how abjectly sinfully we egress

us equipped with arguments
aplenty, but nonetheless

they always search for verses
so as to digress

notwithstanding their bias we stress

to God all consenting adult love
with honest intent

neither crooked can be nor bent.

The gender of a partner,
insignificant,

actions for his other half
being sacrificant,

the focal point and symbol of affection,
significant.

Thereby not a variant our love
but up to par

to His Eyes it seems
no lesser by far

because blessed is love
if mutually unconditional

our kind of fondness
to the world still apparitional.

Oh Saints and Apostles,
look at these fallen castles
cry at our folly

nowhere can we find cover

unclean spirits have taken us over

inducing pride unholy!
