A bough bent young <br />To fetch an ideal dream <br />Swinging in its bow….. <br />A wooden plank <br />Roped and rigged <br />Sparrow’s chirp <br />Fill the air <br />Vacant the swing no more……… <br /> <br />Child in marriage <br />In pockets of society <br />Swings the swing….. <br />With offspring’s <br />Sweet and many <br />Myna’s chirp solitary <br />Duty done well? <br />Vacant the swing no more……… <br /> <br />Bleak, dark clouds <br />Waters of vapour random gather <br />That sustain the heat could not! <br />Flew up droplets, up in the air so blue <br />To cloudy dreamy clouds <br />To tease till tears trickle <br />Rains! Down pour! <br />Swing; <br />Vacated in haste in down pour! <br /> <br />Children in this bonding <br />Sweet innocence <br />Pressured till <br />Stolen dreams were pacified <br />Bend at will <br />As soft clay still <br />Half the days in toils glare <br />Shaped to ends <br />Duty doubtfully lingers…. <br />Swing; <br />Vacated in timeless life’s outpour <br /> <br />We are sinners <br />Saved by grace <br />Patient the lord <br />Watching us with no haste! <br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~malinikadir<br /><br />malini kadir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-marriage-child-in-marriage/
