The Girl Child Is Gold
If you are reading this,
then you are special and capable.
You have the ability to make a change.
My sisters are being married off at a young age.
I don't understand!
Are we still in the stone age?
They are living at the knife edge.
Why are you suffocating them,
These young ladies are living in a cage.
They are becoming wives before they reach the right age.
For how long shall we keep on quiet as these old Madhala scramble for our unripe sisters?
For how long shall we act blind?
For how long shall we give a deaf ear?
LET US ALL UNITE AND PROTECT THE GIRL CHILD.
