Marriage Poem by Sumali Nagarajan
Marriage
Is something wrong
With marriage as an institution?
It's a centuries old tradition
But will it survive or not
Has now become a question!
When our previous generations
Preferred to tie the knot
And share the hearth together
Whether they got along or not,
The forth-coming generations
Won't have the patience
To submit n adjust
‘Till death do us part'!
Why marriage is on the decline
And people prefer to just live-in
Have the values undergone a change
Or are they ‘smart' to begin?
IMHO, problem is not
In the institution itself, implanted
It is when couples start
Taking each other for granted!
Great poem, Sumali! Very true and honest thoughts, though they might not be popular. Well-written too.
This is indeed a very thought provoking poem. The matter has been held in the right perspective. I personally feel that the institution of marriage is still as strong in India and elsewhere as it has ever been.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem

A responsible society always needs a slow and steady institution to win the race. Thanks for raising the point so poetically.
