A Girl Child # 1 Poem by mithilesh yadav

Yes, it hurts, hurts the hearts of humanity indeed.

Heard a lot around me,
Girls getting married under eighteen,
Molested, raped and killed,
Sold, bought and slaved.

Situation is controlled… they say as advancements begins.

We have seen growth, educated girls,
Teachers, pilots, astronauts,
Prime minister, president,
Commanding, winning and leading.

Oh! This painful feeling of my pen can't be expressed.

In her ninth month of pregnancy,
Resting in her mother's lap,
She is women now, and feared of a girl child.
A princess of her father, is afraid of a girl child.
A goddess of her brother's heart, is afraid of a girl child.
