Were you ever in love with someone not Listed as an approved relationship By roaming mobs of false analogies In either-or assumptions basely masked? Friendship and love are regulated now Not by a written fiat of the state But by the decibels of imbeciles The bellowed mandate of the club and fist The law of love is now the law of bans - They’ve politicized even the touching of hands

The Slaughter of the Holy Innocents and of Holy Innocence
Were you ever in love with someone not Listed as an approved relationship By roaming mobs of false analogies In either-or assumptions basely masked? Friendship and love are regulated now Not by a written fiat of the state But by the decibels of imbeciles The bellowed mandate of the club and fist The law of love is now the law of bans - They’ve politicized even the touching of hands
(The allusion to Saint Matthew 2 is deliberate.)
