Until Death Do Us Part
by Melissa Martin

Husband and wife, "Until death do you part."
The groom heard this vow and took it to heart.

The groom shouted, "Submission, submit I say!"
"I'm head of the house. God made it that way!"

The groom said, "Quit your job and stay home all day."
"Don't talk on the phone and do what I say!"

The groom hit her, he beat her, and he broke her bones,
Then he quoted from the Bible and ripped out the phones.

The bride ran to her family and they gave her advice,
"You said 'I do' and now you pay the price."

The bride ran to her church and they told her to pray,
Keep the house cleaner and try to obey.

The bride ran to a counselor for relief from the pain.
He said,"Forgive him and go back again."

The bride ran to the hospital, bloodied and sore,
The groom by her side said, "She ran into a door."

One night in a rage he threw her against a wall,
He beat her to death by crushing her skull.

The bride ran to the heavenly God above,
"I didn't want bruises, I only wanted love."

God in heaven opened up his book and with a long pausehe said,
"When I wrote 'until death do you part,' I meant by a natural cause.
