Faithful Fidelity

Long ago and all over the place

Men married and married like it was a race.

The more wives they had, the higher their status.

This shot their egos right into the stratus.

It just wasn't fair to the men of low rank.

The men up the ladder had all the girls in the bank.

They wanted to marry and have a wife too

So they started to leave home and find somewhere new.

This was no good for the strength of the army.

Ranks started to dwindle at a rate quite  alarming.

The government officials came up with a plan

To make staying home a better choice for a man.

Laws were passed, man could have only one wife.

So those lower in rank could get a girl and a life.

Personally, I believe some people find the ideal mate, their soul mate, but it doesn't happen for everyone, in fact the majority settle. Then after awhile they move on because they weren't really with someone as compatible as they hoped. It's really very sad and another ass backward thing that makes no sense. We live in an ass backward version of reality.
