MIXED MARRIAGES

MIXED MARRIAGES Marriage occurs when two meetThe downbeat takes in the upbeatThe union produces a new formAnd obey the command to increase The pillars of opposites reveal manyThe middle space remains the bestDarkness and light of sun give a dayFather and mother bring forth a child Mixed marriage is not only of coloursAs ethnicity appeals to our sensibilitiesCulture may differ, you need a bridgeWhere the couple meet in the middle Sip from the mixture of good and evilLove and hate battle emotions for primacyFalsehood collapses in the face of truthDawn of hope dispels darkened doubt of dusk Marriages are mixed at various levelsThrough the social strata, the gaps yawnIn politics the electorate gives the mandateFor the elected to manoeuvre the gains Expediency of marriage is in adoration and amityA home for all the kids to grow and learnLet war accept a hand in marriage to peaceSo that the world may come to know love
