Exposing the Hypocrite

The "sanctity of traditional marriage"

Allegedly held in high esteem

By Alabama Governor Bentley

Was--truth be told--a political scheme.

 

Bentley vowed to "defend marriage."

Defend marriage from what? you might ask.

Could he have meant from people like him?

Come on, Bentley, remove your mask.

 

The governor can profess his praise

Of "traditional values" and we're none the wiser;

At the same time the hypocrite

Was having an affair with his top adviser.

 

While he condemned marriage equality,

He was having the time of his life

Thumbing his nose at his own marriage

And allegedly messing around on his wife.

 

Bentley's marriage is his business,

But since the governor has no shame

In depriving others of their rights,

Exposing the hypocrite is fair game.
