It's a girl
Gazing at something
beyond, I felt that I heard
It's a girl,
Oh said the new father
in me, I shall take care.
A society, where a father
fears to have a girl-child as
‘she’ demands much care,
I care, said I. Even
a mother fears to have a girl-child
as a ‘she’ demands
more protection, and a family
fears to welcome
a girl-child as ‘she’ demands most silence,
Yet, I said I care to myself in
silence with deliberation.
