30136 - Since you get married

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

Since you get married
and you surrender all of your rights
to society’s ruling power
and as was anticipated, you are
dependent upon
and expecting
your liberation
through a lawyer and a divorce.
Did you ever think that you claim
that you believe in a Christ
who was never married
who had disciples
who never married,
as if all these
apply only to the faithful
and all of the rest,
the social ones, with the marriages
the divorces and rest
to those who believe
that they believe
but always forget the light.
