Tradition Marriage

People married by chain, other married by rings,
Married by bride price, other agreed each other,
Boys paid on it, some girls paid on it.

Partners who are some, other share the tribe,
Choose who are rich, other choose who are white,
Choose their own partners, other are being chosen.

Celebrate all members, other are being divided,
Live to their husbands, other start for their own,
That is the way, how people live.
