Marriage

A coy bride

With all her self-esteem and pride

Is set to start a new life

Where she thinks there will be no strife

A life filled with love and understanding

Where there will be no room for misunderstanding.

Her bright and beautiful golden ornaments

Her special wedding garment

Makes her look like queen

But is it a symbol of ruin?

The beautiful bangles are the chains

That will bind her and never allow her to gain

In a society dominated by males

Where there is no respect for females.

People say marriage is the union of two hearts and souls

But can two opposite genders ever have a common goal?
