Marriage, a Path To Prosperity Or a Door To Adversity

Some see serenity in parity
Some seem open to disparity
An institution as old as the hills
Marriage is marked with unclarity 

Some people unable to think straight 
Champ at the bit, they just can’t wait
To make the mistake that seals their fate
Only to wake up when it’s too late 

Worse-befallen are the ones who see
Right through their mate’s real he or she
And nevertheless, opt to go ahead 
Further on folly upping the ante

“When we got married, things went worse”,
Say most people after they divorce 
Success so scarce some call marriage 
A miscarriage and a failed discourse 

The ups and downs of married life
The rifts and shifts being so rife
Monologue the vogue, madness galore
Better no longer remain man and wife

Better unmarried and live on single
Than with the wrong type marry and mingle
If you are happy with unwedded life
Forget marriage. Resist the tingle!

Should you get married and then divorce 
Beware not to sink yourself in remorse 
It won’t be easy, but do cheer up
For a better life, you must change the course
