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.
