It's a girl


"It's a girl!" they said,
everyone overjoyed,
They flashed the news
on the front page of the tabloids

her birth was celebrated
she is born with a silver spoon
she must be so beautiful
we want to see her soon

"It's a girl!"they said
their faces dropped instantly,
they prepared to discard her
and made such plans openly

She was found in a roadside bin,
counting her last breath,
her loss wasn't mourned,
and she died a lonely death.

(Aishwarya Rai, the bollywood actress gave birth to a baby girl and it was celebrated like never before. But this is an exception. Usually, in our hypocrite society, birth of a girl is a matter of concern than a joyful occassion. I only wish that each girl is as fortunate as Aishwarya-Abhishek's baby)
