Save Our Sisters

A poem about infanticide of girls...

"Save Our Sisters!"

Many girls lost, many girls missed
Many girls lost, never to be Ms.
Strings of girls, strands of pearls, 
Gone, gone, gone. Pretty, pretty, girls.
A mother's hug, a sister’s laugh, a daughter’s kiss
Lost, lost, lost. Missed, missed, missed.

Many girls lost, many girls missed
Many girls lost, never to be Ms.
Young girls grow up, become young ladies.
But for Indian girls, that’s a big maybe 
Young girls grow up, become young ladies.
But for Chinese girls, that’s a big maybe,

Many girls lost, many girls missed
Many girls lost, never to be Ms.
Run, Run, Run, hide your daughters, 
Run, Run, Run.  Run from the slaughter.
Wake up world, we’ve lost too many sisters.
S.O.S. World, Save Our Souls, Save Our Sisters.

Comments: In some parts of the world, the three deadliest words are “It’s a girl”.  Girls are killed for being girls. After watching this movie trailer  http://www.itsagirlmovie.com/ , I wrote the poem above.  FEEDBACK WELCOME.

Darlene De Beaulieu March 10, 2019 at 1:52 PM Hello Noel, this poem is so very sad. Something should be done to save the girls. Have a nice day my friend. Noel Flater March 10, 2019 at 7:41 PM Darlene, Hopefully awareness of a problem can lead to action. NoelsArt

Debbie Duncan March 8, 2019 at 10:45 PM Too funny as I'm watching Women's day just now on news. How abortions kill girls in many countries. Great poem :) Noel Flater March 9, 2019 at 5:19 AM Thanks Debbie, I'm really proud of this poem. I feel it's important.

Bill Keen March 8, 2019 at 10:37 AM I read "Save our Sisters" aloud five times. I cannot see or hear an errant sound or stress in this wonderful poem. This was my first read of you, my man. I'm going to look at more of your stuff and listen to myself looking. Bill Keen Noel Flater March 8, 2019 at 12:15 PM Thanks Bill, when I hear music, I feel like I wrote good things. If you like sound, read "Ode to a Writer", or "Fire Works". Good Feedback helps me write! Noel

Miya Xavier March 7, 2019 at 6:12 PM This is great, I even found the It's a girl Documentary site. Keep writing, don't be shy, Express yourself. Noel Flater March 8, 2019 at 12:16 PM Miya, I'm glad you read the poem and girl Documentary site. NoelsArt

Connie Marcum Wong March 7, 2019 at 5:44 PM Your poem brings awareness to many who could not even conceive of this happening. In America we rejoice in either gender being born. I myself have three daughters and only one son. Your poem should be POTD my friend and it is going into my Faves! Congratulations on your premium membership Noel. It is wonderful to have poets like you join this site! : ) Aloha, Connie Noel Flater March 8, 2019 at 12:17 PM Connie, I'm overjoyed by you and this site.

Daniel Schack March 7, 2019 at 5:01 PM it is an old sad story. of course. being a women is not easy , being a man is not easy. in similar and different ways,but the expression of anger, justified or not, never ever excuses the act of physical or even psychological or verbal violence or intent. we are all in this life together. no excuses. great poem , feel free to feedback on mine, sincerely Daniel Schack on poetrysoup.com Noel Flater March 8, 2019 at 12:18 PM Daniel, thanks for this heartfelt feedback. I'll follow your poems, take a look. NoelsArt

Susan Jeavons March 7, 2019 at 4:37 PM Add to that all the baby girls (and boys) who were aborted, and it's another holocaust. Very touching poem Noel. Blessings, Susan Panagiota Romios March 8, 2019 at 12:32 PM I am with you on this one. My state in insane, California, I mean. Planned Parenthood wants their phone number put on student ID cards? Oh, you mean, Dial a Butcher? God help us.Belgium had an openly Jew hating float yesterday.I have no doubts that another Holocaust is coming. I also fear for anyone Jewish these days. Hatred of Jews on the rise in Europe, too. Love, Panagiota Unabashedly Pro-Life and Pro-Israel

Albert Leblanc March 7, 2019 at 2:42 PM Beautiful poem, and on point. Here is hoping someone is listening :D Noel Flater March 8, 2019 at 12:19 PM Albert, we hope together. I'll follow your poetry, look for new ideas. NoelsArt

Panagiota Romios February 17, 2019 at 11:29 AM Noel, how on point you are! And so wonderfully expressed. A tragic topic, that we need take to heart. Panagiota Noel Flater February 17, 2019 at 7:05 PM Thx Panagiota, someone taught me about this, so I poeted it.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 11, 2019 at 3:35 PM Powerful pen Noel. Thank you for sharing it. xomo Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 12, 2019 at 8:06 AM My moniker mo, x, o ;) Noel Flater February 12, 2019 at 7:41 AM Thx Maureen. Feedback helps me write! what is xomo?

Caren Krutsinger February 9, 2019 at 11:21 AM Noel, this went straight to my FAV list. I think everyone should be aware. EVERYONE is not, but you are and I am and so are some. This poem could also be a wake up call for all of us to be aware as there are so many missing girls who never come home. We could all try harder to be aware and do whatever we can to stop them from being abducted in the first place. Noel Flater February 10, 2019 at 10:04 AM Thx Caren, happy to be on your FAV list. This may not be my best poem, but is my most important one!
