Female Foeticide

Every day you come to the balcony,

Scan the sky and try to see my unseen face, cry silently,

But why momma ???

Think that time when I was in your womb, touched your belly with my tiny hands, kicked you so many times.

You were enjoying all my naughty deeds and eagerly waited for my arrival.

I had the craving for your warmth love and care,

I had the desire to see the beautiful world, to study hard, make you proud, and my native famous.

But no. You determined my sex, came to know that I am a girl child.

I started trembling with fear when I knew that you are searching for a hospital to abort me,

At last, the doctor cut my tiny body into pieces, did this heinous act with a big deal of money, threw the pieces in a dustbin for dogs to eat.

But momma! What was my fault?

Why you punished me for papa's mistake?

Or It is a sin to be a girl child?

please reply to me, momma, reply to me.
