Marriage

Two partners tie a knot To live their lives together The spirit of cooperation Competition all there Love and envy play their part too Anger and distrust is there So is sense of security Instilled deep in traditions Love grows in hearts pledged To each other for seven lives to come Life keeps rolling System worked fairly well Accepted by many for its assured ease But nothing is perfect Time changed the balance Benefits shifted towards power Weaker side lost in power struggle Mutual respect vanished Love extinguished Some survived the rocky journey Yet many had painful destiny.
