Judicial Pendulum

Judicial Pendulum

As the pendulum is influenced by gravity,

So Anthony rode his swing.

As culture descended into depravity

To pop influence, not law, did he cling.

Ephemeral and lusty love his standard,

Not the family, nor created order.

To the libertine he then pandered,

Swinging over a 5,000 year border.

His swing, though, is not the issue,

It is his arrogance toward created grace;

An act that widened existing social fissure,

An act cosmically out of place.

This judicial interpretation

Created positive law.

Of the natural it was an abjuration

Of the Holy One we hold in awe.

A mere mortal of the court

Transformed the meaning of life.

With debasement of the sacred did he cavort,

Cutting divine attachment with his judicial knife.
