Gifts Ultra Rare

This poem is a challenge to all those who consider the fairer sex as less important ,or worse, a burden and commit the violent crime of female foeticide or see them with dishonoring eyes.

     Gifts Ultra Rare

Folded in cloth, her eyes did shine

Parabola shifted by pi, ‘the daughter is mine’

Said in front of others,

How did you feel inside?

Okay let’s make a confession

It was on mother’s guide.

 

The girl grew up,

As broadens a brook.

Papa followed Mama,

She had a beautiful look.

 

Mama hugged the life

Papa was reluctant

But the daughter believed in him

Someday, he too would be resilient.

 

Then occurred an accident,

Mother had to go.

Daughter was left with father

And he got a blow.

 

Papa, papa, she said

In everything that followed.

Little did she know,

She would never be endowed.

 

Then 10 years later,

At 4 o’ clock in evening,

Daughter didn’t come home

The thought itself was aching.

For maybe he didn’t want her

He was a dad within

Was it already too late?

Got a rush of adrenaline.

 

Went to the police,

Took help of a neighbor

Nothing came in hand,

Except the morning newspaper.

 

"10 year old, raped and murdered"

Stood the headline distinct.

The face was translucent,

But the apparel succinct.

 

Dressed in mourning stands,

He who didn’t care.

Daughters are not a burden

They are gifts ultra rare.

Respect them, accept them,

Without them, the world is despair.

The subject matter is sad in itself. What make it even sadder and more infuriating is the fact that such heinous crime is a reality. At ten year old kid got rape? Geez, we live in a mad world.

[Shivam Murari]

I agree. That's so sad. But true. We have to agree. Thank you for reading and reviewing, good lady :)

[Holly Mason]

I had to come back to review-read this earlier and it truly upset me-as it should
no one should go through this no one but I know they do
you have written this sad tale in poem style very nicely and it reads as such
spreading the word through writing is a gifted gesture it should be viewed as such
thank you for enlightening and for sharing

[Shivam Murari]

Thank you so much. I am glad that you found this poem effective. I hope such crimes become completely non-existent. This is just a small endeavour I made. :)
Thanks a lot for reading and reviewing :)

[carol burgess romance]

Such injustice, such narrow vision by many cutures...except for a female the male could not be born,,,do they think they were grown in a pumkin patch...you do this subject great justice...well written

[Shivam Murari]

I agree with you Carol. Thanks for supporting, reading and reviewing :)

You have a gift of story telling through poetry.. It was painfully real and striking.. Very well written.
You're missing a few articles.. indefinite.
Okay let’s make (a) confession
Daughters are not (a) burden
Poetic liberty might be applied here but I just feel it would complete this perfect piece if you add them. Much respect and really amazing work. As an Indian, i'm so disgusted by what's going on in our country. Women, even little girls getting raped. Terrible world we live in with some terrible people. It's also partially because of fathers like this who do not accept their children and provide them love that the kids either become victim or predator.

[Shivam Murari]

I totally agree. These ruthless crimes made me write this. I made the grammatical corrections suggested by you. Thank you for reading and reviewing :)

[KeeD]

Your work is amazing, keep writing my friend. I've had in mind a script on a similar concept to your poem. I just haven't had the time to get down to writing it. There's so much room to work with on a topic like this.. the reality is sad but for a writer it's a good challenge.

[Shivam Murari]

I agree. There is so much we can say about this topic. Writers have been gifted with the ability to influence the people and we should do it as much as we can, in the right direction. :)
