Oft an adults with childish mentality do marriage <br />With an aim to travel in life’s joyful carriage. <br />On fate’s tortuous road of uncertainty <br />With an aim to sing life’s joyous ditty <br />The coach drawn by colts of happiness cum sorrow. <br />Rushes on a road winding up to morrow <br />Then a wanton fantasy running amok <br />Mates with a desire running wild <br />And in due course produces a sacrificial child. <br /> <br />Then, adult children with unfulfilled goals, <br />Imprison poor newborns in their ambition’s gaol. <br />They prod tiny tots with a goad of desires <br />Till their limbs gets tired and hearts emits fire. <br />The fools trying to fulfill goals in a vicarious way <br />Unknowingly extinguish the newborn rays. <br />The child born in an accident <br />Complains in a front of providence: <br />In muffled prayers or screams <br />To rescue his brutally raped dreams. <br />Thus their desire abuses new born child <br />Who is yet to shed innocence’s guild. <br /> <br />Eventually the carriage falls in <br />a dolorous dell, <br />And the progenies that <br />begets in the hell, <br />fight like Cain and Abel. <br /> <br />Dr Hitesh C Sheth <br />02/06/2009<br /><br />Dr Hitesh Sheth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-marriage/
