A Girl Child # 2 Poem by mithilesh yadav

Sun is brighter today
Rays touching me are more hopeful today
As I wear my uniform on my body
I set aside that age old rituals today

Many like me had been married in childhood
Unlucky of them, auctioned their womanhood
Some even lost chance to fight in their mother's womb

These men driven society since ages governed
Yet many like me are not lucky enough
We have inherent blessing to give birth
But ruled by those births, governed by them ….. but now it is enough.
