THE GIRL CHILD

When I enter a village

What do I see?..

Boys going to school with so much of glee

I look all around me

What do I see?

Small little girls just like me

Working in fields, working in homes

To look for a job all around they roam

Why is this?

That a girl never gets what she wants
And starts her work at the crack of dawn

Why is this?

That in India the girl child is always discouraged

Don't they also have equal rights?

Don't they also need some love?

There is a God watching from above

Let's help the girl child

Get her her due

Let her see life

In its true colours and hue.
