THE MUFFLED VOICE!!

The muffled voice!!

Right now, in my Mother’s womb,

Helpless and clueless; I keep crying,

But you can’t see, for you are busy,

Planning my murder; as for justice I keep demanding,

I wanted these nine months to pass soon,

So that I could look at the world beautiful,

To breathe in fresh air, to experience its bounty,

Seldom I knew; to dream of it, I was a big fool,

I wish you could hear me. Dad,

And feel the emotions of your daughter,

I wanted you to be my most favourite person,

Who pampered me endless, and fulfilled my desire,

Mom, how can you do this to me,

Didn’t you love me even a bit, all this while,

I was in your protective shelter,

Perhaps I wrongly felt, my presence made you smile,

Won’t I even get a single opportunity,

To see you, to hug you, to be in your presence,

My parents, to you, I plead; to you, I ask,

Is being of the fairer sex such a big offence,

I wish someone would hear my muffled voice,

Alas, my words would always remain unspoken,

I would soon be brutally slaughtered,

And with utmost care, the crime would be hidden,

Millions like me suffer every day,

Those who survive, die a slow death,

Cursed and tormented for being a woman,

Throughout their lives; till their last breath,

If there’s a God, he will listen to our pleas,

He will save us; he will show us a way,

Helpless I keep crying in my mother’s womb,

Wishing for a miracle, every moment, every day..............
