A Personal Affair Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

A Personal Affair



Marriage is a
personal affairs
Leave husband
and wife alone
Even if you are
her husband's
closest brother,
Even if you are
his wife closest sister,
Her father or his mother
Best friend to him or her
Leave them alone
Do not become
their adviser
Or counsellor
Let them be
Leave them to fight
Leave them to quarrel
Just let people's marriages be.
Leave husband and wife be
No matter how they are living
It is not your business
Marriage remains a personal affair.

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu, The Useful Man
