Marriage

Marriage is a gimmick

A label for the things people want to cover

When they aren't happy in a relationship, they get engaged

When they want to call off the engagement they get a quickly marriage in Vegas

When things start getting unbearable they have a kid

When that kid reach the terrible twos they have another one

Then they get a dog because the alarm system is too expensive to fix

They start arguing over the car because the van broke down

They grow gray hair and continuously dye it

And they cry when they are confused

chanting "why did i get married"

they start having an affair and working odd hours

they start neglecting the kids and throwing them on everyone else

They become a burden to their family and friends

and by the time they try to do something about it it's already too late

So what's marriage

if it's fake and it's a way to escape from problems

What's marriage if not a simple word
