Choked

Choked we feel if the current fails, for a few minutes,

Darkness, heat, and the lack of luxuries everyone screams

But still, drowned in the darkness of old customs, blind faiths,

No one is trying to switch the light to illuminate the female section.

Why even the women holding power could not think of a solution

For this marginalised, unrecognised, inhuman torture of women

Every moment of a female child is choked in dangers surrounding

Is it just for the curse, that the child is born as a female gender?

Highest army post to medicine commerce and science

when the females had proved far beyond the expectations

When their abundant inner energy is meant for the world

Why we are choking the very generation from advancement?
