FROM TRADITION TO BETTER GENERATION
July 06,2018
In some countries, they marry for the family;
And the poor bride serves everybody daily!
A bride doesn't get chances to enjoy as a wife;
She starts having the quarreling and the sour life!
She gives it back when a new bride comes for own son;
Thus, the wheel of system moves on and on!
Demands and commands from all those in laws;
Thus, suppression and oppression stay there always!
Violations against the weaker they legally endorse;
I don't see good laws for freedom and equality they enforce!
They claim themselves patriots but still backward people;
Why Education and right treatment are not there available?
But the good news is, many are changing the tradition;
Newly wedded couples try now for better generation!
Enjoy the life after marriage as much as you can;
After five years of marriage make your children!
The status of married women in a traditional society nicely portrayed. With the change of time, the undesirable practices of the past should be dispensed with once and for all to create an atmosphere of freedom in the family. Thanks for sharing a very meaningful composition. Thus, the wheel of system moves on and on! Thus, suppression and oppression stay there always!

It is a beautiful poem on family life, tradition and violence having touching expression and nice collocation. How a poor bride suffers in a family is vividly inscribed. The motives of the present peoples is too painted touchingly. I want to quote here......... They claim themselves patriots but still backward people; Why Education and right treatment are not there available? Thank you dear Chan for posting such a gem. This goes to my poem list.10
