Marriage To Be Outdated. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

They are shopping buddies.
Pleasure of shopping
Without the strain of being together.

They are gossip buddies.
Pleasure of company
Without the stress of staying together.

They are bed buddies.
Pleasure of sex
Without the friction of living together.

No more swearing undying love.
No more waiting for princes to come.
No more broken hearts
No more longing and pining.
No spying; no divorce.

Soon marriage would be outdated.
Each one would die without a companion.
