The Question Of Celibacy
The Question Of Celibacy
Man make vows of celibacy before god and man,
boys and girls alike make the vow to take that stand.
The boy becomes a priest, the girl becomes a nun,
imposing laws on themselves no god requires of anyone.
Where is such a vow decreed and in which holy writ?
I've seen no sin for which celibacy is the penitence for it.
Whence comes the law disallowing the law of birth
to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth?
Still man make such vows in penitence to their god
though the path god commands man follow they dare not trod.
All lifes have a cycle in which to multiply their own,
pleasurable it must be or the desire would not be so strong,
but because we know not what that cycle in man be
they vow, in penitence for ignorance, a vow of celibacy.
The mating in man is to be once each moon, at ovulation,
when the egg comes down preparing for procreation.
Twelve years a child is to nurse, till prior to puberty,
and during that time mother's don't mate till set at liberty.
Thus, celibacy is from conception to the weaning of the child,
all other lifes in nature are celibate only for that while.
