Arranged Marriage Poem by Daya Nandan

A marriage is not as simple as getting a man and a woman to start a life,
You cant force a man to love and make just any woman his wife,
They are not toys, they are people with separate tastes and hearts,
You cannot force them to love, you cannot predict if love between them starts,

Love is not something that you can force to grow,
For not for everyone does one choose for their love to show,
A lover is someone special out there to be found,
That special somebody that makes your young heart pound,

The arranged marriages, they force the will of two
If you force their heart to love, will a love like that be true?
What is the point of fake love that they pretend to share
When in reality for each other they do not care

if you say it is to prevent the trouble of heart breaks you are sadly wrong,
You can get heartbroken while being married, false love never lasts long,
To me arranged marriages are an act of desperation a form of heart abuse
Forcing you to try and love, forcing love produces the ultimate bruise

Why cant you open your eyes and see
That forcing a man to accept a woman as his bride to be
Will hurt him deeply, who likes their freedom taken away?
Even if a small spark develops, how long do you think that spark will stay?

If they don't click how do you expect their love to last long?
What disasters do you await before arranged marriages are proven wrong?
The path of love is to be pursued by one's own mind and soul
Love is not something you can arrange and keep under your control

Do you think love and chemistry has nothing to do with what's marriage is about,
Then sadly for you it will only be a marriage that is full of lies and doubt
You cannot just skip the process of falling in love and let marriage happen fast?
Will the dept of love be deep? how long will your love last?

if u want a marriage filled with romance shouldn't you give love an early chance?
How else would you expect the angels to sing and a chance for lovers to dance?
You have to love deeply and truly to prevent your heart from despair
How can one love that way with arranged marriages? Humans only have 1 heart to spare!

You cannot find true love if you don't love at your best,
If you have the wrong partner you really cannot expect to hear the sound of love in your chest,
For without the sounds of love in your soul, hope for true love will be lost,
To be stuck with someone you feel little emotions for with your heart covered by frost

The only thing that awaits is for your dying heart to decay,
As the hope of ever feeling love slowly fades away,
Love is not something that is always there, you have to take a chance and find it,
You need to have to have faith or fake love and loneliness will cause your heart to split,
