girls. girls.

✗dying flowers✗

some girls lose their lives
before they even get to
live.

the world is a boiling pot
of discrimination which
evaporates off the chimneys
of almost all the houses on
the street.

a static announcement of
death sounds like a drum
inside the safe heartbeats
of the mother the moment
they find out the baby is
going to be a girl.

[they say it like it is a curse
whilst it is the sweetest 
blessing]

unborn lives are reduced
to star ash even before they
get to touch the moon just
because they were girls.

these unborn girls are
the flowers dying in 
the drought of the 
evil; praying for a
downpour of enlightenment 
onto their ignorant minds
as they continue to
deprive the innocent,
unborn girls of the life
they deserve.

they will always be incomplete
with gaping holes instead of
hearts until they realize that
the having a girl is nothing less
than feeling the energy of a
million galaxies poured into
stars bundled up in your arms
as the baby girl giggles.
