Arragement Marraige Poem by Sahra Hussein

Arragement Marraige

Rating: 5.0


Mother, you were holding me in your stomach nine months
You had a hard time the first time I saw the cosmos
You taught me how to be like you
You motivate me to be a clear lady
You sat by my side all night long when I was sick

Father, yesterday I was your younger daughter
After you came back from work
You opened your hands for me
You were holding me up all the way to your chest
We hold hands and walk together toward our home
When I cried you ran to my side and yelled at your sons
You asked who hurt me

Aunt, when you visited us you saw me playing with the boys
You called me and told me to change clothes
You told me to take a seat
You held your hand and mine together
You told me to stop being a tomboy and act girly
Brother, you were my protector

You almost fought several boys because of me
Boys were moving back after they recognized me
Because they remembered you were protecting me yesterday
Sister, you told me to be careful for trusting the boys
You taught me to be hard to get

Teacher, you taught me about the beautiful world
You taught me to treat others in a good way
You inspired me to protect my dreams
But today all of you sent me away
You sent me with someone who is destroying my dreams
Someone who is closing the door on the dreams I have been searching for
I lost my future goals because of an arranged marriage

But today all of you sent me away You sent me with someone who is destroying my dreams Someone who is closing the door on the dreams I have been searching for I lost my future goals because of an arranged marriage.. What a great truth. in so many countries this happens. this is terrible. all women in this world should cry out against this injustice. thank you for bringing up the evils of an arranged marriage. thank you. tony
