Precedented Sin

She is ill
her faith falters
through her translucent resolve
we see that which we cannot help but hate
through her translucent resolve
her faith falters
because she is ill

She is foreign
our eyes avert from hers once again
Create a diversion to save from the guilt
and we cannot see past what she "is"
Create a diversion to save from the guilt
our eyes avert from hers once again
because she is foreign

She is not like us
I cannot love her
but nor can I hate her
she, the blaspheme, loves like no other
and so I cannot hate her
not can I love her
because she is not like us

She is a creature
we turn a blind eye to her struggles
because of our own righteous internal ones
Our word is law, our law of God's
because of our own righteous internal ones,
we turn a blind eye to her struggles
because she is a creature

The sin was not the first of its kind
all of her is dirty, diseased, and tainted
we don't want to catch her non-contagious death wish
Her crime was being in love with a woman
we don't want to catch her non-contagious death wish
for, all of her is dirty, diseased, and tainted
though her sin was not the first of its kind
