Analysis of Sexual Consequence
The outrageous results
of unprotected sex
are overpopulations,
maladies and vex.
The significant defaults
of injudicious sex
are negligent laxities,
irritants and dreks.
The patronizing occults
of preselected sex
are mulish institutions,
religions and sects.
The despicable assaults
of imposition sex
are awful atrocities,
cruelties and flex.
The scandalous insults
of disrespected sex
are serious derisions,
mockeries and hex.
