Social Evil.....Saga Of A Girl Child Poem by ritty patnaik

a baby at large
joy for the home
happiness spreads
in a household,
where a daughter is born.

not any longer!
a girl child dies before
it is born.
she who could have been
a sister to someone,
a laughter to some home,
or hapiness to granparents,
yet now,
worst, a burden to her very own

the recent trend of society,
without social responsibility,
before a baby sees daylight,
it is sent backto almighty,
here education fails,
and life is planned,
in connivance with injustice.

it pains me to see, everyday,
inspite of stringent laws
a girl child,
in a gutter or well.
their only crime being,
a girlchild.

whether it is their fate or karma,
is not the question,
whether we are ashamed
of such deeds,
needs to be thought about..

a girl child, as i see her
is the pride of a indian family,
the most lovable daughter,
, should be given more love,
by the society, because one day,
she will be a mother, sister or a daughter in-law.

some times it seems,
we are at fault.
nevertheless do some good deeds
before time halts.

love her as much,
as you love yourself.

only in her little palms,
fate is written,
dont erase it,
before the divines show
