Broken, throw it away
Old, a new one's better
Outdated, upgrade
Don't like your wife, forget her
Plastic forks, paper plates,
everything deteriorates
Children grow and move away
For friends, face book, is the place today
Phone calls, have turned into a text,
Visits few, people easily vexed
relationships divorce
attorneys, counselors, courts of course
Money to be made
Call a spade a spade
Times have changed
Priorities rearranged
Yesterday with loved ones we formed strong bonds
Today everyone is chasing blonds
Passion flows but marriages no
Together we stay for just a day, only sexual foreplay
We used to hug, now we can no longer touch
biological threats, sexual harassment and such
Relationships with our dogs closer than our spouse,
with whom we fight, over who gets the house
Socially acceptable, biodegradable how absurd
I say rotten's a better word
Relationship dissolution
is it part of the solution or evolution?
Everything must be fast, nothing is built to last
Is it a lack of oxytocin and vasopressin?
Monogamous our genes were not cast
Is this nature's final lesson?

A man after my own heart.
Thank you for the read and comment it is appreciated
A bit of oxi-wotsit and vaso- whatsisname never did anyone any harm! lol.
So right Orchi we could use a lot more but it's all on backorder. Thanks for the read
Astutely observed, and finely written! You force one to ponder the plight of human relationships. Disquieting, but nonetheless needed. Thank you for this thought provoking piece, emphasis on "thought".
Thank you Bella, so good to hear from you. I was just thinking of you earlier and appreciate your read and comment.
