Just because she will be a girl

Heads bow in front of goddess Laxmi
Fear the power, try and escape her fury
It is we who are called the civilized
But still so uncivilized we can be
We shower the love on our son
For misery daughter is the reason?
She who is yet unborn
Who can still not walk?
We move ahead in life
Use technology to commit the crime?
Not seen the light of the day
Might one day show you the way
She is your daughter
Your own blood
Do not murder her
The one who is still to see the world
Just because she will be a girl

Today in the country
There is for all to know
What our census statistics do show
The sex ratio going so low
With boys present but girls just follow
The numbers have a story to tell
The real world has a pleasant scene
The girls are no less than boys
They now shoulder loads of responsibility
Moving ahead in various fields
Times have changed
We should change our own beliefs
Lets celebrate and tell the whole world
Just because she will be a girl
