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

A very serious matter this, so much involved. Capable or totally incapable of understanding situation. Taken in marriage to be a servant, abuse, stigma attached as regards relatives is another probability.Poverty will make parents sell this precious child instead of allowing her to live her life - protected.Sometimes marriages between two such people work, they spend their lives assisted and being cared for, thought of children frightening- again dependable on others...a very sad and complicated decision to make..

I dont know which is worst, child marriage or young men having children with different girls who are also children themselves, children having children out of wedlock. God bless us all. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and talent.
