There Was a Little Girl
There was a Little Girl…
There was a little girl
who would have wanted
like a falcon
soar the skies
and the ocean deep, would have braved
or roamed the wilds
and the flowery beds
she would have loved satiate her eyes with…
but into her world they stepped
and designed a life for her
she never had wished for …
There was a little girl,
who knew not why she did
what she wanted not to…
why they pressed on her
and dreamt for her
things she herself dreamt not of…
there was a little girl,
a bewildered little girl…
and if by chance
you meet some other little girls,
tell them then,
“Take courage , fight oppression
And allow others not
to shape your life for you”.
