Freedom to hate

About 10 % my classmates in my college are either married or engaged .Some of the conservative families thinks the appropriate age for marrying off a girl is 19 years. Marrying young has both advantages and disadvantages. It takes a lot of adjusting & patience to live with someone you just barely know. There are tales of fights & tears that I see in the eyes of my married friends. One goes like this

Freedom to hate

 She acts deaf and dumb

When the world around her is of unspeakable things

“Coward”, the brave mocks her

The brave, that doesn’t have the guts to offer a helping hand

She lives on to see a brighter tomorrow

Even though her days get dim & dull

Too afraid to give up on hopes

Hopes that area possibility in a distant future

A future free from the bonds of love and fear

A future where she is not compelled to love

With a freedom to hate

Freedom to hate those who

Give her nightmares

Freedom to hate those who

Bruises her pale hands

Free from the obligation to love

In the name of marriage and blood-relation

Freedom to hate anyone she wishes

Without the bonds of ethics
