Matthew 19:3-12
The Taliban hide their women
We put them on display
No one gets it right
Even to this day
We make a god of pleasure
And woman is the field
Her beauty our obsession
Her fate with us is sealed
The Lord is asked a question
Can men do what they like?
We are male and female equally
Get that inside your psyche
Two become one body
Face to face in love
A life to live together
With the help of God above

+ We would not be so crude as to say that men can do what they like, but in fact we live by this spirit and it is destroying so many lives. When God is dismissed and the values of goodness, truth and justice are as plasticine in our hands, our passions rise to the surface and become gods over us. Such is the power of sex in society. If not channelled by love, sex becomes a dominant force seeking its own fulfilment, and women and children pay the price.
