In the Human Condition
An older man's
weakness
makes him
pursue
a younger woman
to fulfill
the desires
of his earthly
appetites.
His flesh is weak
and so he succumbs
to the fantasy
playing around
and around
the corners
of his mind...
Unknowingly
he does
the unthinkable,
the detestable,
the unspeakable
taboo...
He sleeps
with his own
flesh and blood.

We live in a society of sperm banks and casual encounters with no idea of the future consequences. So what if a man sleeps with a younger woman not realizing that he has slept with his own daughter or a woman who has given her son up for adoption only to cross paths with him years later and taking the cougar path. The curse of Oedipus Rex is upon us. And more importantly the curse of God. Is it any wonder that God makes the marriage bed sacred?
