Beloved He, Biased She

by Lonely Rider   Jun 27, 2008


Beloved He, Biased She

"A Fault of past life!
A curse in our home!"
She quietly listen to
Foul screamed by her mom

He is the family heir
The apple of their eye
Showered with excess Love
Miserably,she watches by

Spends morning in school
He plays with dad at night
Swabing scrubbing her homework
She cries in flickering light

He will become a Doctor
or an Engineer someday
She will be married to
a trader with no delay

She echoes the story
Of million deprived girls
Buried by the biasing
Before their future unfurls.

    Great title - Beloved he, biased she.

    "A Fault of past life!

    ^ This suggest 'arranged marriage' being brought up in a society, specifically a home where the female is still second class.

    He is the family heir
    The apple of their eye
    Showered with excess Love
    Miserably, she watches by
    ^An understandable jealousy rising here. Also, a sense of powerlessness.

    Spends morning in school
    He plays with dad at night
    Swabing scrubbing her homework
    She cries in flickering light
    ^Such loneliness portrayed here. The flickering light suggesting abandonment, or at least the feeling of it. Flickering, weak feelings, if you like? Envy too at a sibling, a male sibling getting the love you crave so much.

    He will become a Doctor
    or an Engineer someday
    She will be married to
    a trader with no delay
    ^His future is free to become a king if he wishes. In contrast your future mapped out by others. Your future choices are stolen. A sense of time running out!!

    She echoes the story
    Of million deprived girls
    Buried by the biasing
    Before their future unfurls.
    ^This last stanza summarises the arranged marriage debate. Women/ girls raped of their potential achievements.

    A great write about a issue which still effects so many across the world. I feel that civilised society should not condone such draconian acts.

    Well done

    I think this poem is little irrelevant to this era. Although there was a time when our society is used to be like that. But as a poem I feel you've written it very well. The message you wanted to give is very much clear and to the point. Nice work.

  • Another good write. It made me sad, but that's a good thing because I feel the emotions your are trying to portray.

    He will become a Doctor
    or an Engineer someday
    She will be married to
    a trader with no delay
    *For some reason I think this stanza help set the meaning of your poem in stone.

    It as well has a good flow and structure.

    Well done
    :)
