To Do or Not To Do?

To Do or Not To Do?

That is the question
similar to Hamlet's debate

of suicide

through Shakespeare's work,
did famous make.

Today,
marriage
is not often
the recommended suggestion.

Thus,
this institution's demise
is sadly at stake.

Whether a shack-up or a shackle
is 'nobler in the mind'
is a quandary causing sincere romantics
to hesitate. Decline.

Those who consider,
thought simply blind
to reality.

Single,
the preferable commodity.

To take this stage as bride and groom
may beset the union

'to grunt and sweat under a weary life.'

Committed

one to a prison's dense and eternal
gloom.

'And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.–Soft you now!'

Coward!

Yes,
thus a vast
mast do choose:

bow out,
so as not to lose

sanity.

A total mistake

to engage
in this holy arrangement

by a
Loving Creator
for Humanity.

A Wonderful Gift
to the

Perfect First
then Eternal Family?

Yes.

For this

HE
thus it did

Originate.

First poem in a series discussing marriage.
