Female Foeticide (Poem)






A dormant life in a mothers womb

Unaware it’s the treacherous tomb,

Awaiting to inhale  the worldly air

And to live a dream that no one dares.


Defenseless and with innocence

She awaits; her first kiss, and embrace.

Unaware of the plot to end her day;

By the traitor in whose womb she silently lay.


What wrong did she do -to meet her death?

Even before she could take her first breath?

To be murdered by her own beloved mother,

Except for her being a girl child and not the other.
