Such Cruelty Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The world still survives
With haves and have-not
Still it is nice concept
Without children's gift, people have wept

When it is given
They are internally driven
With a strong wish to have baby boy
That might have added to double joy

Many parts in country blindly follow
The baby child is not preferred or allowed
Either pregnancy is discontinued
Or not allowed to see world and strangulated

Such cruelty is result of ignorance
That leads to open defiance
Of thought never appreciated by creator
But we take arrival of baby boy as dishonor

Let her take chance
To breathe in beautiful world at once
Open the eyes and feel the mother earth
Why we must assume the role of death God
