Shackles Of Childhood Marriage
Shackles Of Childhood Marriage
Totally lost in this vast world
There lives a tiny tootsie
Childhood became HER dream
Nullified HER in a new home
Shackled by early marital status,
Cessating HER very vital needs
Little pari became a puppet
Bought like a grocery from the market
Baby bride left HER home
SHE changed HER name
And Calmed HER tone
Frightened by cantankerous inlaws
Crowned with premature rituals
With succumbed issues of health
SHE birthed progeny in HER twelfth
Religious slaughter
Or intentional tether
HER childhood became a nightmare
And the little bride is no more
Naysayers ended her innocence through lambasting
And SHE finally rested in the crust
