Inescapable marriage

Leaving the house which is your home seems impossible,

For every single girl the marriage ritual makes it possible…

It’s an unavoidable ritual followed by the Indian society,

The thoughts of being separated brings pain and anxiety…

It’s the beginning of a beautiful and new chapter of life,

Where girl gets a whole new family and boy gets a wife…

Why do always girls have to leave the place they belonged,

Why do everyone agrees to the ancient kind marriage bond…

After marriage every girl goes with tears in her pretty eyes,

While she’s leaving each and every one of her relatives cries…

Yet no one stands up for changing this old tradition,

Which have been followed blindly by every generation…

I hope that in nearing days there comes a revolution,

A new world where a girl can choose her destination…
