Divorce In America
Through rose colored glasses we see a universe full of opportunity, desire, obstacles, triumphs.
The journey of love offers optimism for most.
But a broken heart demeans the soul, all the while nihilism sinks in.
The sinking boat hits rock bottom, again.
It’s a problem; this plight for life.
With the ups and downs, big smiles and frowns.
I’ve turned into a skeptic wondering why the universe is full of meek individuals, and some so abrasive?
Opposites struggling to survive in a world that links together pleasure and sin.
Where do our values sink in?
Why were they lost?
Did you not understand the cost?
With dating sites, hook-ups, and casual flings.
The divorce rate in America is on an upswing.
