Whom To Blame

The marriage was stopped
Because the proper cost
Was not paid
The match was handsome
But without proper ransom
The silent painful tears
From her eyes faded the sight
Of a dream seen in light
Who is to blame for this plight?
The generation old
For they could not hold
The proper value for the new
To be followed
Or the new one
Who are unable to create?
A new path 
And the take the oath
To wash away the painful Traditions 
For the forthcoming
Generations 
They will too carry this 
Heavy load on their blemish soul
