Analysis of Wedlock And Hemlock



Connubial relations
between a man and wife
with certifications
for offspring creations
is classified as wedlock
serving as the bedrock
of marriage foundations
and their propagations
with standing ovations
when committed for life.

Connubial relations
between a man and wife
with bold accusations
for mean provocations
is classified as hemlock
serving as the warlock
of marriage damnations
and their denigrations
with constant frustrations
when committed for strife.
