Marriage Demise In a Cantakerous Canteen

Convoys of flashy cars Matrimonial coteries perched on car windows Convey cosy impressions in imaginary bars Belying divorce shadows That stalk and haunt new marriages Where cooking sticks, frying pans fly As divorce spectres havoc in carriages Speak and sing a lie Marriages tell and fail As happiness through windows evaporates To spell and impale Marriages at frenetic rates Scaring delights and daylights In homes haunted In mornings, afternoons and at nights Taken for granted and taunted Seventeen thousand divorces In twenty seventeen Evil forces from frightening sources Marriages under siege in a cadaverous canteen Prompting minds to boggle Wondering if matrimonial culture sutured Too many marriages in hedonism gamble, giggle, sniggle and google In scary scenarios captured and raptured Time to rethink Pose questions Think! Wintry wine glasses don't clink the right link Marriage institution in need of systemic overhaul actions with surgical sections.
