Poetic Verses

Dishonor

There is always that temptation, of migration
 Hopefully to put one in a better financial position
 In most cases some people tend to gravitate in a commune
 Where they can carry many of their national traditions of home

 Even though they are in a  quite different land
 It seems hard for them to really understand
 That what they could do in their native country
 Will not be accepted  or considered in anyway legally.

 Yes they will be no refusal of any particular religion
 So long as the practice is not a threat to the nation
 But must conform, to the laws as the native must
 Which in most aspects are fair and just.

 Now their offspring who are considered citizens of that territory
 Will in most cases embrace those habits and customs readily
 And most certainly, will not be saddled with or straddles by antiquity
 Therefore would not accept their parent's customs that easily.

 As all their formative years would have been in a specific locale
 They will embrace all the habits and practices in total
 Things like dating, and falling in love and then latter marry
 The one they choose, and not someone prearranged  by daddy.

 Now the father do not want to change so he gets upset
 Seeing this as now a form of total parental disrespect
 Completely ignoring the daughter's happiness, but he dwindling power
 And because his daughter's ways have  now brought him some dishonor.

 His anger now seem to transposed him, back to the native land
 So in  this state he has now a feeling of being in command
 The punishment meted out, goes way beyond an admonition
 Sometimes some irreparable damage can be done to the person.
