They say-it’s a girl,
And a chicken is slaughtered,
When a boy graces the earth,
A cow- he deserves.
They say- it’s a girl,
With one glance and their backs;
A boy breathes first air,
And is enshrouded by a crowd.
They say- it’s a girl,
and their shoulders feel burdened,
Cost of marriage is high-
Faces clouded with grief.
They say- it’s a girl!
In the 21st century,
The women curse their stars,
For birthing their kind.
They say- it’s a girl,
And ignorance comes to fore.
But without girls in the world,
There will be no men.
