"DONT KILL ME MA"

A CURSE BY A FEMALE FEOTICIDE

(Female feticide: Where my only fault is that I am a female/girl child, if I had been a male, I would have survived......)

Those who kill me
While in womb (only because i am a female)
Are not the killers
Killers are those
Who killed me For the want of dowry
After i was born!
May god!
With a sharp kinfe
All of them be torn!

Those who kill me
While in womb
(only because i am a female)
Are the cowards
Are the selfish
Are the helpless May god!
Take away their power of reproduction
So that To them
No child is born
No child is born!

And upon my death
Whether Inside the womb
Or Outside the womb
Not the killers!
Not the cowards!
Not the selfish!
Not the helpless!
Should mourn!
(After reading this poem on a website, a lady expressed the desire to adopt a girl child from such people to save at least one female baby from this kind of feticide
