Factors That Compel

Everyone's getting married--
It seems to be the season.
Because "You're getting older"
Is sufficient reason.

Underneath it all
There may be something else.
Insecurity
And other factors that compel

Men to take the plunge
And women to yearn for it.
Perhaps "You're getting older"
And soon you may be buried.

I guess I'll write another piece about this topic at a later date.
