Just An Old Fashioned Love Song

Faith, hope and love were starting to
feel a little out of place in a society
that seemed to be rejecting them.
Seems there was an issue with the
American Civil Liberties Union concerning
separation of church and state.
To the ACLU, faith had run its course
and was now the enemy of the state
who's fire should be extinquished wherever
it dared to show its flame, and concerning
hope; don't you dare to have it and
don't continue to spread that silly story
around that faith, hope and love are
dependent upon each other, as that could
be posted in your file under hate speech.
As for love, that went out of style when the
Waltons were canceled, or was that banned,
from your old fashioned television screens.
Now go and turn on Sex In The City...
if you know whats good for you.

I've never watched Sex In The City
so don't ask me what its about,
although I would be so bold to
assume that its about sex.

I've never watched Sex in The City either but I have seen some promo's and its not my style.  But neither is the ACLU approach.  Very good. I enjoyed your rant.  Love, (dare I say that?) Joyce
