Girl's Life SpanA Poem by SamThe life span of girls, how they are treated and how they are exploited.
My birth is not a sin,
It’s the work of wrong gene. I was killed before birth, To not let curse the Earth. I was not sent to School, because it was boys rule. I grew up old, Playing with the household chore. I protested to child marriage, They beat me till their rage. I was married to a lad, Old enough to be my dad. I was thought to be a burden, Sold to the hands of an urban. He forced me to prostitution, To earn for that institution. I was raped at 15, It was in air, but unseen. I appeared in court for justice, They threw me in a pile of mystic. I used few words of slang, It was improper, like the word bang. If they do it, it is manhood. If I do it, I am a s**t should. For me, marriage and dowry were mil, My parents paid it with their will. I was tortured in my in-laws. Died mercilessly in their claws. I served my children like king and Queens, In the end, they handed me to the dean. I prayed, they would come, like a whiner, Died with the belief, death came earlier. © 2015 Sam |
