Beautiful Sin

A Protest Song

Beautiful Sin
Michele Matthew

I remember waking

to the church as a child

I remember the passages

suggesting it was a sin to be with another woman

But that is just my beautiful sin


Beautiful sin

Because that what she is

There is no one else like her

I would walk through hell for her

And endure all of the trials

Cause she is my beautiful sin


Because apparently

It is a sin to love

Because apparently

Their God judges me

But my God does not judge me


Orlando Florida, Pulse opens their doors on June 11, 2016

The hours turned by June 12, 2016 2:02am the shooting began

3 hours later 49 dead, 53 wounded


This was not an act of terror against the U.S.

But the U.S. committing an act of terror against our love


Summer of 2015 legalized marriage for all

But still weddings aren’t being held in churches

Because their god judges our beautiful sin

Our beautiful love


Others have died, been killed

Trying to pave the path

So that we can love openly

But no laws will protect us

From those who view us

As abominations and sinners


Because apparently

It is a sin to love

Because apparently

Their God judges me

But my God does not judge me


Beautiful sin

Because that what she is

There is no one else like her

I would walk through hell for her

And endure all of the trials

Cause she is my beautiful sin

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
