Foetal Pain

about the killing of female foetus in India's rural areas.

Can't you hear my wail?
Why will you?
I know that you are stone-hearted.

Bit by bit I was building my expectations,
all of which you shattered in a moment.

I am the mortar,
on which you pounded my dreams,
with your pestle-like heart.

Why did you deprive me,
of seeng this beautiful world?

Just because I am a girl?
