TWO STEPS AWAY

August 10, 2018

They say marriage is a game 

They all do it for fame

In my community,

Thousand will get married because it is a dream

But they are two steps away from the truth

 

It becomes a shame

When two lovely couples begin to fight

After taking vows in men,s sight

Which becomes a hinderance in their children,s eyes

Because they are two steps away from the truth 

That marriage is not an easy task

But the best lesson one has never heard

 

There were those haggard times

That i watched thousands of broken families

Thousands of holes with nothing to fill in it

Thousands of wounds with no one to clean

Thousands of sorrows with no one to comfort

Thousands of children now on streets becoming great people

Great being feared by community

Being feared by their own parents

Being feared by their own teachers

Because they are dangerous after that longe to be a whole family

So think twice don,t be two steps away

Marriage is a task that should be serious ,happier and healthier
