Is Polygamy Good?
In the last two pages of my book
“A Gallery of Positive Thoughts (1st Edition),
I stated that polygamy itself
Is not necessarily the bane
Of our polygamous homes
Rather, it is lack of love ,
And I used my home
Where peace and love reigns,
To support my claim
There have been genuine reactions
From some readers of the book.
Seeking clarification
As to whether I was
An apostle of polygamy
In the modern day setting
My answer is “No”.
That is far from my intention
What I am and was saying
Is that those of us
Who inherited polygamy
Or those who inevitably
Found themselves in it
Should ensure
That they do not
Because of the circumstance
In which they found themselves
Distract themselves
From pursing the positive pursuits of life
Or even kill themselves
Polygamy is a destiny buster
Which no sensible person
Will allow to destroy his or her life.
The way out is to manage it with love,
Thereby avoiding
Or escaping the calamities
That are associated with it.
(Excluding those who unavoidably
Found themselves in it),
Polygamy in today’s world
Amounts to stupidity
Today’s value system emphasizes it.
Good fathers now only produce
The number of children
They can cater for
The kitchen is no longer
A woman’s full occupation
And from the menial jobs
To highly paid ones
No reasonable child
Is interested in inheriting bare lands
Because ‘trouble’
Is often the greatest asset polygamy breeds
That’s why, imperatively,
Modern-day women
dread polygamy
It’s the desire
Of a reasonable modern day
average family
To lift itself
Far above the poverty level
A man’s income alone
Is now insufficient
For his household needs
Therefore anyone
who dabbles into polygamy
Is not only living in the past,
courting disaster!
He is the greatest enemy
Of himself!
