JUNE 3rd
(PRIDE STRIPT & WHIPT)
“Pish; tell not me of Times, or danger thus:
To do a villainy is dangerous;
But in an honest action, my heart knows
No more of fears, than dead men do of blows.
And to be slave to Times, is worse to me
Than to be that, which most men fear to be.”
—George Wither—
Wither’s Motto: nec habeo, nec careo, nec curo
(1621)
It was bad for Adam to be alone
so God made Eve and brought her to her man.
By their union would unfold God’s great Plan;
but, before their bed of marriage was known,
Adam deemed Eve his own flesh and his bone.
Therefore, how could man wed himself to man?
Do such unions sunder man from God’s Plan?
If so, how can souls for such sin atone?
Two genders together reveal One God:
Male: law, judgment; female: mercy, and grace.
Same-sex cravings are Naturally flawed.
“Gay marriage” is a false name for disgrace.
Souls void of grace of Heaven self-defraud.
Fixate on Crucified Christ’s thorn-crowned face.

What’s worse: the rough old American rustlers,
cattle thieves who, to evade capture, would fight
or pioneers of gay art like Edmund White
who paid for home visits by pervert hustlers
rather than stray from his work desk for the piers
haunted by sex-hunters again and again,
like White himself who slept with 3,000 men?
Is it not a crying shame to praise such queers?
It’s less of a crime to steal 3,000 cows
than to give away art designed to arouse
soul-destroying lust. Against such let us strive!
Edmund White died June 3rd, 2025!
