Rejected Child
Lost in bitterness she alarms
Voice became sharp to their ears
Back to back, they threw her out
Slippers left her feet with tears.
Standing on that road she sweats
After nine months she was rejected
Parents left her in an absolute mess
Lawyers passed and don't care.
O, parents! you're the cause of the rape
You're the cause of prostitution
If this child shall die from severe headache,
What will you say about misery?
O thy mothers! can you bear a child and beseech death?
O mothers! can you lose pounds of blood and see thy child in tears?
O Parents!, work constructively,
And change your mentality.
