She: A poem by Imp's Mom

Guest Post Contributed by Imp's Mom

Thanks for sharing Imp's Mom :)


SHE

She is worshiped
She is treasured
She is given all the luxuries of life that can be offered

Yet

She does not have Freedom

Freedom to make her own choices
Freedom to make her own mistakes
Freedom to live her life in her own terms
Freedom to learn from her own mistakes

Give her an education
Give her a chance to make it worthwhile
Give her a chance to grow, show her the love and watch her blossom

She is no less than a son.

Say NO to Gender Inequality

  • I would like to suppliment to your poem on Female foeticide, which i have recently written.
    The Unborn Daughters.

    We live in land of gods & goddesses,
    We worship them for Prosperity and solace.
    We look for our prayers be heard,
    Prayer to beget a son.
    Sons’ who will keep the race growing,
    We want happiness flowing,
    We want our race going,
    Here daughters are unwanted,
    That’s why thousands are aborted,
    Strong obsesses-ion for a male,
    That all our faith we subscribe, fail,
    Killing is crime we know ,
    But not a bit of remorse we show,
    Our insanity know no bounds,
    Mercy is nowhere found ,
    Killing them before birth,
    Is killing Mother Earth,
    Dreaming of crops to grow?
    Without our roots, we’re unable to grow.
    Un-thinkable , without a womb?
    That’s why Medico’s ‘re on job.
    In mothers, we see incarnation of God,
    Give me a son , O my Lord!
    Hippocrates, we are ,
    We love our mothers a lot,
    But rearing foetus without mothers, is our newfound plot.
    Birth Engineering is new study on cards ,
    Hospitals shall be sans female wards,
    Daughters & sisters will exhibit in shows,
    Sons will grow in rows,
    We are gentle , but without a heart,
    Sisters, we love you great !
    We want her ,for our needs,
    But still , in womb she bleeds.

    And still we say God is great!
    Great indeed ! He is ,for letting them be killed,
    With those who are our ill-gotten skilled,
    Thinking , He’s with us to share,
    Guilty are we ,plundering the Nature,
    Guilty are we ,of slaughter of Unborn Daughter,
    Guilty are we , offending the rules “He” précised,
    Still we call us civilized?

    Daughters indeed make us proud ,
    Proud are we of her achievements,
    But we shall not let her born.
    Earlier it was dowry , now its their life,
    Where will your sons could find their wives?
    We are ready with our sharp knives,
    But , daughter should die,
    We want to suppress their painful cries,
    Let’s make real vows ,
    Never can we walk with one sided shoes,
    Never can we prosper with unborn daughter.
    Let us welcome our beloved daughters.
    With them is future of Man.
    Let’s pray should’nt that worst dream ,come true,
    Forgive us God , for ill -gotten thoughts.
    We pray for wisdom ,O Lord!

  • Hello Mam, its long when I submitted my poem on your site ,in order to consolidate with the issue you had raised. I feel the issue is not a dead issue rather has grown a larger proportion. People like you and me are using the pen to express our anguish, but there is need to carry forward the fight .
    Recently Actor Aamir Khan has raised the issue on Star TV in his show SatyaMav Vijayate . The greed of the people is growing and the mode has changed and has got more sophisticated. The ethics has been thrown to winds.
    Think of more what we can do . I earnestly appeal to all the intellectuals to come forward and do something before it is too late. Thanks.
