Celibation

Why is it that, being celibate for nearly four years
I feel like I need that sexual coupling again,
And now, reading the news,
I find religious demigods decrying the 
state of the sexual revolution by 
Announcing that Aids will kill
A bunch of people
They are afraid
Should I be afraid?
Or should I stay celibate?
Or should I go out
And announce a celibation.

Irony is just a state of mind.
