When I was born, When I happened to be a girl, When it so happened I was the second one, When all resented me except my mother, When it was first decided to abandon me, When later they decided to end my life, When I knew I was unwanted, When even my mother couldn't stop them, It was then I saw society hasn't changed, It was then I was heart broken, It was then I lost interest in living, It was then I decided not to resist, It was then I let them kill me, It was then I saw them jubilant. It was then I left the bigotted society, It was then my last breath on earth. Tell me, Oh! Humans of the world, What could I do, A newborn ,a few days old, Against a Heartless Society of Bigots Bent on extinguishing a young life All because it's a girl. Raghav R 28.06.2023
