People Who Marry

People who marry with the 
mentality
that something is better 
than nothing, 
usually end up
facing a fatal reality 
that something turns out 
to become nothing.

People who marry for only 
fun and finance,
build their life around 
mansion and money,
most always a mix of 
trouble in abundance,
having a bitter taste of the 
one they call honey.

People who marry for a 
reasonable purpose
offer their heart on a 
platter of purest pride,
never fooled by flower, not 
even a red rose,
sincerity and simplicity is 
their surest guide.

I know many who have married thinking something is better than nothing. Don't get me wrong I'm no marriage expert. Thanks for the great read.
