Unveiling the Monster

By Kristie Cooper

Unveiling The Monster

Do you take this woman to be your wife?
To have and to hold,
To rape and hold down.
Through good times and bad,
Steal the good, create the bad.
For richer or poorer,
To spend the riches and make me poor.
In sickness and in health,
to make me sick and ruin my mental health.
To love and cherish always,
to hate and punish always.
‘Till death do you part,
‘till the final beating do we part.
