I am the future,
Who needs to be well nurtured.
For the well being of mankind,
I need to be on everyone's good part of mind.
Sometimes I to be a chatelain,
And many more responsibilities I have to maintain.
In spite of all these what do I gain?
No love, no gratitude, but my share is only pain.
Without me you men will be living in a hovel,
I am the one who makes a house a home because I am a marvel.
And! I am the one who gave you birth,
I am your daughter whom you wanted to lurk.
Being a sister, I wanted to feel protected,
Instead, by my own blood , I got prosecuted.
My own parents didn't want my birth to take place,
Accidentally, I was born- they kept me as one of their slaves.
Oh please! Let me go free from the cage, 'cause I want to fly,
Don't kill me, I don't want to die!
Why do you want to kill me? It's a sin, it's a crime.
Is this world only yours, not mine?
