A Chance

A Chance

A question that haunts

Marriages are between partners

Or his whole family


Shoulders burdened with expectations

As soon there's a negligible error

Taunted attacked with words like swords


Someone says marriage meant

Looking after

Spouse's parents only


Not the ones who took pains really

On raising mentoring virtues

But not for bartering as slaves


No don't wear this

No don't sit beside

No don't eat or drink


Rather take a corner seat

At their feet

Kill your hunger pangs


Cook just cook

Clean just clean

Wipe just wipe


Wash rub spin

Hush don't speak

Don't utter your voice


No never don't you ever

Play with your own child

Because after birth


They become properties

Are they humans really

Why can you not be


A little of a daughter

From the disgraceful daughter in law

Yet the poor heart loves and respects


Because it knows

What goes also comes back

Maybe this happens this way


Because it happened always that way

The same way

For generations and generations


And so

You break it now

You stop them now

You fight them now

You face them now


Are you ready

It's time to take a stand

It's time for intolerance

A fight to get back life

A fight to get back


The snatched respect

A war of independence

In a small way today


Begins from your own house

Worthlessness doesn't define you

Helplessness not meant for you


Hopefulness it is

And then one day

The sun shall rise to goodness

The rains shall wet the hardness


The storms shall calm down to breeze

Love shall win back with righteousness

Wait wait do not give up

Give it another shot


I know how uncertainties attack

Yet another chance

A chance for all of them

A last chance the final one

Because once gone

Will erase it permanently


You turn your back to pains and wounds

When they become sores and scars

So here take one

Grab your chance


Lets replay again with love tools

With kindness and compassion

With considerate feelings

With thoughtfully spoken words


With gardens of flowers

With flowers to bear the fruits of

Happiness well deserved

Happiness wholly healed.
