ON A STRANGE ENGAGEMENT

After few months
Two souls
Going to become one
=> So this is a situation, an engament. Extremely pleasant evening, or NORMALLY should be. Two months engament..sounds a bit short, if it would be in western standard. But it is not, and so good so far.

The silence
Powerful
The passions
Extreme
The dreams
Unlimited
=> I read this poem like 2 words are related. I don't know whatver it is right way to read it or not. But let's assume it is.. So there would be powerful silence. It can show people agree, no disagreements. Extreme passions..A lot of emotions and exciting feeling put together..Why...because in Asia...certain things is related to marriage only. So the excitement comes for waiting unpatiently to step on new state. Dreams unlimited...exactly unlimited because nothing has come up yet ...to limit dreams...like reality. ;) Never ending expectations...yes, for sure...people expect certain things their capacity is unlimited...so expectations are never ending.

But there is a distance
=> Oh, so there is SOME limits. Some distance, physics law comes up..

A distance of
Tradition
Ideology
Society
Dominancy
=> So tradition, ideolofy, society and dominance...they limit the dreams.

Marked by
An interruption
Procrastination
False disposition
Varied perception
=> But something wants to delay everything.,..This two months waiting period.. There is a false disposition...Perception which vary...are different...

Nobody knows
How to escape it
Struggling to overcome
This deliberate dilemma
=> Well...if marriage is like a rite... It is hard to escape it. It is in front of everyone. One must do it. It is a part of culture...a habit, a tradition.. Well..I attend some months ago in Hindu wedding.. I have see something... :)

Which is created
Not by others
But by our own people
Only to sustain
Their supremacy
=> Yes, your own people create this dilemma. Nobody knows who begin this certain kind of tradition everyone should get married...in certain way...in certain circumstances.. This kind of tradition existed in Europe until nowdays people question the whole institute called marriage.

How long will it continue
Who will alter their view?
Will they change their mentality
Or waste these moments in futility?
=> Welcome to Europe. This "revolution" has already begun. Guys don't want to get married. Girsl have stillt his beautiful vision about weddings...but surprise.. Guys say it is unnecessary.. Means...they want to live with girls and do same things which previously were only among the married persons...but where is the respect..? I think any decent person wants certain social status.

The time has come
To revolt
Against this domestic war
To annihilate it
Completely
=> Begin of the revolation of strange engament. To destroy the silence and strange feelings, expectations.

If they do not change
We will do it
=> Yes, someone has to be the first. We can not assume others will change the world while we are sitting in front of telly confortbale and watching another Bollywood movie :)

Not for their sake
But for our benefit
=> Yes, it would also benefit not only this society but also inviduals if there happens changes. So there would be space for freedom to decide whatever one wants to get married or not.

Or else they will shape
Our thoughts
Control
Our emotions
And we will become
What they want
A puppet-only a puppet.
=> Sometimes arrange marriage can be like this... leave people the feeling they are just some dolls in a play. Everything...the scenes are already planned...and no matter they wanted or not, the great pressure push them to do these things... It is unfair to individual.

What a poet does when he wants to start a quiet revolution? He takes a pen, or start his PC and type a poem on net to change the world. Excellent job, brilliant ideas. :)

I liked this poem......
it was a poem based on a reality.........a truth of our society......
this was very clear one.to the point..........
very nicely written...

infact the thought behind it was briliant..
yes its time to revolt , else w'll be puppet only puppet.

I was a bit confused about how this started and how it ended, but I think I might understand now. To make this poem easier to read, or people more likely to read it, I suggest that you insert like...enters, to make stanza type things. It'll make your thoughts look more developed, and clearer for us to read. Great job though!

A puppet only a puppet.. u r right in every aspect n point with this p[oem..

keep it up..

best wishz..
