Balveen Cheema Poet Questionku

Doomed Girls-Questionku Two

Womb with girls
Is looked down upon
Why slaughter her in bed?

Fresh blooms nipped
Raped and molested
Have they committed crimes?

Education
Is the right of boys
Isn't it her right, too?

Patriarchs plan
Girls are wedded off
Can't girls take decisions?

From birth to death
Girls at men's mercy
Are they forever doomed?

Andrea Dietrich October 21, 2015 at 9:08 PM very good questions. It's horrible that these things still happen in this modern world. I like these a lot. Balveen Cheema October 21, 2015 at 9:46 PM Thanks Andrea! These things are still strongly prevalent here.
