Who owns your Life anyway?

Your life is yours, my friend
yours to interpret in a way that you deem fit

It is not of your father
not of your mother
nor is it for your LIFE PARTNER


Heed my words, follow your heart
cause that is where your true driver resides


You are but a vehicle driven over
a definitive and unforseen territory
by an unseen and divine driver.

Marriage and a Car

Marriage and A CAR

Marriage is like a car and this is what I insistently say
If you do not believe me yet, hold your doubts at bay

A man proposes for a marriage, because he loves and wants to share his life
A woman consents to the marriage, because she likes to be taken care of as a wife
Neither of the two needs is to be taken for granted, or just to be simply forsaken

The Man in all his forms is akin to an Engine of life of the marriage
Employed, Self-Employed or unemployed, he roars life into the marriage
By his direct contributions, It is Man who defines the marriage’s travel range

The woman with all her softness is akin to a Steering Wheel of the marriage
Making money or just the house, direction of marriage is what she gauges

A man must not become a woman and attempt to steer
A woman must not become an engine and crave the fuel power

Steering in a car, just as a woman is for the whole world to see
Engine in a car, just as a man is for the whole world to admire with glee

Steering in a wheel is always visible and always half concealed
Engine remains fully invisible with proud stamps on Steering Embossed

Engine, like a man, proudly defines the name of a marriage
Woman, like a steering, proudly displays the name of a marriage

The Steering is unlocked and ready to go before the Engine can be started
The Steering must be the last one to have a tuck after the Engine is fully stopped

Man, like an Engine, will get very hot and needs constant care for proper use
Steering, like a Woman, will need a power boost on regular basis for its use

Actions and Accuracy of the Steering are for the whole world to see
Reliability and Responsibility of the Engine are for the whole world to see

Woman, just as a steering, defines direction and safety
Man, just as an Engine, defines power and durability

In a strong marriage, Engine will not need to see others
In a strong car, Steering must conceal itself from others

In a crash, Woman’s will and agility is the cause at its root
In a crash, but it’s a Man who always bears the hit and all its cost
