The elder brother wept
As promise was not kept
For his marriage
He was in full rage
We were not preferred
As marriage proposal was never offered
We were not considered fit family
As there was financial crunch already
He was getting desperate
And we were not able to supplement
We had tiny shop running well
He had intention for outside place to settle
We could manage with some offer of money
The girl was chosen to marry
We could hardly manage
But tried to engage
We were burdened with debt
As he had already decided and left
The father was aged person
And I was little boy not fully frown
The money lenders and traders increased grip
The father was unable to keep word
He was insulted often when enough people were around
I felt so much humiliated and really cursed
