Against the Boy Child
The world today, with her hanging paws
The world today, with her worth thaws
With her dwarfy arm, injustice the flaws
All against the boy child
Her mediocre wisdom, her clumsy rotation
Her awkward movement, nonsensical revolution
Spinning on her axis, around the scorching sun
All against the boy child
Education for all, equity and equality
Journey from the Centre, towards the edge
Whose sharper ages, eager for scarcity
And to slice the boy child
To marry to pay, a calf to replace
The woman’s worth, the wrath perpetrators
For zero go a boy, in the blemish space
And how much is the boy child?
Very sharp the graphite, to mark the last
For read for note, neglect not boy
Against gender bias, tat distinguish wit
Against the boy child
