Polyandry To Revisit Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

For every ten marriageable women,
There wait sixteen marriageable men.
Men are desperate; women are risky.
India and China suffer the most.

Marriage is still a sense of belonging,
Held and encouraged by all societies.
It is not mere a license to have sex,
But a unity with an identity.

Live-in relationships and single motherhood
Aggravate the shortage of women to wed,
Added with women turning to be nuns,
Leaving men turning as gays or perverts.

Polyandry may revisit to stay.
