Spare me
No, she is unwanted and not welcome
Do away with her so she doesn't come,
Worries may be more if she takes birth in home
Better terminate the pregnancy and have the chance for free roam
This is the situation that prevails at the time of baby child's birth
She is unwanted in family as awaits no love and warmth
We discriminate between new born and have narrow views
Do the parents really need some education and reviews?
Was I not borne out of love and affection?
Were they not eagerly awaiting and had so many expectations?
I was luckiest child t be borne come out
I heard the conversation in womb and talk about
I used to hear bird's beautiful song,
When we used to go for walk along,
All lovely talks while watching beautiful pair
I was breathing in place which was not supposed to be wrong
Does the termination of child birth not amount to murder?
It is executed skillfully without any wonder?
Sky may witness silently and not fall with thunder
What would I do except to cry above the sky and soil under?
Will it be in womb premature death?
No new world for me and fresh breath
Was this the vow taken by parents under oath?
Running away from reality or compromising on both?
Can you listen and pay attention to my simple words?
Is there no safe place for me in this world?
Do you desire our untimely demise?
What will happen to your early promises?
It is sheer nonsense to behave in isolated manner
How does it help to make the population thinner?
It is simply a lame excuse to do away with pregnancy?
Baby or no baby it has nothing to do with relevancy
HE is there to see you all?
What will you reply when you receive his call?
You may have rise and fall
Don't create hatred in heart as strong wall,
We are like beautiful flowers in the garden
Different in colors with fragrance but not a burden
Tree also bends when fruits are laden
You are the only one rejecting the heaven
