I lie there
in my wee home
surrounded by
the fluid of care
and love
hoping and yearning
to see her face
to see the world
to see my family
someday…
oh, how I wish
I was born!
I hear her-
reciting the verses
singing a lullaby
her fond coochy coos
her chiming bangles
and rhyming anklets
oh, how I wish
I was born!
I can feel her
the warmth of her hand
all over me
Her gaze -
down on me
watching me grow
The air of love
that surrounds me
Oh, how I wish
I was born!
I hear voices
That fill me with qualm
their talks turn
to whispers
I hear her sobs
I feel her tears
on the walls
of my little home
I long to be there
and listen to
all they say
Oh how I wish
I was born!
I hear her
as she says
She will miss me
As I realize
the truth
my eyes fill
with tears
will you make me bleed mamma?
Will you let me die?
I will miss you too..
She hears me not
I lie there silently
Holding on to dear life
Oh, how I wish
I was not formed!

Very touching!
Female infanticide touches a raw nerve in every decent human being.
Legalised murder, that's what it is.
This wonderful poem can make anyone weep!

It is really sad that such things are happening in the 21st century--the age of Knowledge and Information--when people are supposed to be well informed and aware. But infanticide has stuck in india--despite tall talks by tall leaders and Talkative law of the land. what good is the law if not even one person has been hanged for this conspiracy of murder.
Dowry and marriage expenditure is the cause of all this crime. Perhaps the MTV generation might put an end this--I say perhaps, because i find the most educated and outwardly concerned indulging in this crime. things must change. People like you are forceful author of a movement which might help its end. good one, dear. keep on. Regards. Rajee.

Dear Obscurity
The Girl child are killed the womb and also within few days of their birth. Such is human cruelty.
An apt poem on Indian attitude.
