Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

Intellectuals
I have never fancied the logic of a tomorrow,
The future encompasses the reality in question.
We are being endowed with experience of a life
That creates shackles for its descendents.
The children of the generations to come
Shall endeavour to disembark and disagree.
The greatest of minds discontinue with intellect,
For it is far too challenging a human endeavour.

POLYGAMY June 27th,2011
Polygamy is banned by Canada’s Criminal Code law,
But nowadays it’s being questioned as if this is a legal flaw,
Our Supreme Court may change the rules because nobody else can,
Politicians in parliament are busy with the usual game plan.
I think polygamy should be allowed with certain conditions,
Laid down, not by Santa Clause judges but by politicians,
So that we as a country are governed by those we elect,
Not by politically correct judges that someone selects.
One wife should be assigned as the baby sitter for the others,
To be organized among themselves and the many mothers,
While they go to work like the working husband of the lot,
No welfare allowed but this may indeed be a subject too hot.

African Plural Marriage
African plural marriage,
Like the life and the culture of my people;
For the most common marriage in Africa was,
Polygamy before the Missionaries came in.

Polygamy makes a husband a double-tongued man.
Flaw In The Law
God made woman a temptress
And man, a hungry wolf for her.
Hence, polygamy was in vogue.
Is it a flaw in God's law?

Patriarchy is man made.
A man by nature is a polygamist.
And a woman is a monogamist.
Civilization came to halt polygamy.
The resultant is the birth of patriarchy.

A-One!
A-One!
Endeavour, end, an, and, den, dean, dear;
University Boy and a Salon Girl! !
Coming together,
Sign, assign!
In unity,
Birth, girth, mirth, firth!
In one flesh,
Mite, might!
In marriage,
But, the miscarriage was brought about because of the carriage! !
Endeavour!
Poach, coach, approach, cockroach, reproach;
Hear, ear!
In the valley of smoke;
In the Bentley University of Massachusetts! !
hear, heart!
And like tapping honey;
But, you've not found anyone like her.

The fate of polygamy
Thronged by plenty to sell their wares,
A lady has shrunk in not to buy any.
Ignorant of it, all knock at her door.
Polygamy suffers from monogamy.

The government doesn't really prosecute for polygamy anymore, but a lot of the arrests are of groups supporting themselves through welfare scams or for child abuse. So that was all I'd really heard about polygamists.

Contemporaries
Monogamy and polygamy,
Hear my muse and love my mind;
For the contemporaries of your love is now noted,
Because you are now a matured lady!

A woman is not a wandering
A woman looks out for a man as best as she can
And is content with him without a wavering mind.
A man seeks as many women as he can reach
And ends as insatiable in spite of having them.
Monogamy- woman repels polygamy- man.

In Tonquin, it is usual for the sailors, when the ships come into harbour, to marry for the season; and notwithstanding this precarious engagement, they are assured, it is said, of the strictest fidelity to their bed, as well as in the whole management of their affairs, from those temporary spouses.

All the business of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavour to find out what you don't know by what you do; that's what I called 'guess what was at the other side of the hill'.

Chastity is In Calamity
The time is not far for Indians,
For the virginity to lose its value,
For the divorcee to have social respect
And for a widow to become a bride.
Extra relationship is an amusement.
Adultery is a sport of courage.
Women are on the march to polygamy.
You can no longer locate your children.

Feeling insecure
Monogamy is an overrated virtue
And polygamy is an overrated vice.
Non-monogamy is the natural way.
Feeling insecure will enter the way.

The Tangled Skein
Try we life-long, we can never
Straighten out life's tangled skein,
Why should we, in vain endeavour,
Guess and guess and guess again?
Life's a pudding full of plums
Care's a canker that benumbs.
Wherefore waste our elocution
On impossible solution?
Life's a pleasant institution,
Let us take it as it comes!
Set aside the dull enigma,
We shall guess it all too soon;
Failure brings no kind of stigma -
Dance we to another tune!
String the lyre and fill the cup,
Lest on sorrow we should sup;
Hop and skip to Fancy's fiddle,
Hands across and down the middle -
Life's perhaps the only riddle
That we shrink from giving up!

Kissing A Misfortune
Kissing a misfortune
Is a life`s last endeavour
As you never make a return.
Kissing a misfortune
Is a man`s lost game
As you don`t have a partner in it.
A slipped word,
A wrong unknowingly done and
A right forgotten to be done...
Kissing a misfortune
Is a friend`s tragedy and
Indeed a life`s ghost.

Song
LOVE, love me only,
Love me for ever;
My life’s been lonely,
A joyless endeavour.
Though earth were heaven,
I in it for ever,
Of thee bereaven—
I’d love again never.
