Why Not A Daughter?
Why Not A Daughter?
Hither and thither, intense longing for a son
Discontent overtook if instead his is her
Genocide to latter, sounds to the world a pun
God to curse such punitive err
Ceased she to be father's princess
Absence to mother's look-alike persist
Men brave in servitude and the shackles lust
for summonses
Still friction under the foot longs to resist
An impetus to happiness and laughter
Adorned to a beautiful little daughter
