You Will Die

It was a serious matter. He said,
What the community will think?
She is elder in the family and
Youngest may have a trouble.

I advised you, this society is forward,
We need more time to learn about them,
If she started to smoke and drink,
And joined the late night parties.

You never advised or threatened her,
You always preferred, ’she is a child’
One day will come, she will understand,
We need awareness in our society.

She was getting old and worry about,
A marriage, Mum asked to visit to India,
She choosed a smart and intelligent guy,
Bought a new house and start to live.

He worked very hard over two years,
She start to get the benefit to harass,
And advised him, shut your mouth,
Otherwise, don’t forget my obligations.

It is me, you are living freely,
You have no right to stay here.
If I complained, you will die,
To remember, ’where are you from?
