Female Infanticide
The birth of a girl child is most feared
And many a novel way is heard
About how her life is taken
Leaving us all totally shaken
Killed she is right after birth
Even before her first cries are heard
Parents proclaim she’s a burden
To their family – already poverty-ridden
Is the value of a “life” so cheap I wonder
Their ability to create and destroy so freely makes me ponder
The laws against such acts should be made stricter
Ensuring equality of the female gender.
