ENOUGH ! NO MORE!



How long will we plead, how long will we beg?

How long will the world pretend to be deaf?

To the earnest appeals of saving the soul

Of the girl child—ENOUGH ! NO MORE

No more will we say-“Please! Let her live!’

No more will we beg-“Please let her be born!”

We shall just shake  the conscience of men

And question the integrity of one and all.

O mothers! Why have  you been  all so weak?

Our Indianness has made you so very meek,

You crumble under pressure and bow to commands

For your own child , you can’t take a stand?

Absorb all strength from nature and from Gods!

Empower yourself and fight against all odds!

The world knows us as one word ‘WOMEN’

Let’s show to them, ‘WE’ are the real ‘MEN’

If I am strong who will ask me to abort,

The life of my daughter and cut it so short?

If I choose to give birth to my child

And I choose to be firm and not meek’n’ mild,

How can anyone dare to force me to bow?

Come on let us make the whole world know!

”Play not with our lives , play not with our feelings

We are the better halves, not spineless weaklings”

O fathers wake up now! And change your mind set

Restrictions are good, give them to sons instead!

Teach them to respect and honor their sisters

The cousins, classmates and their mothers.

Be firm and not be gentle, with your strong hold,

The sons would be considerate and daughters would be bold.

The cracks in the society are not caused in a day

We overlook these flaws and let insults sway.

If sons are taught to know the limit of their words

Then life will smoothly sail ,no girl will feel so scared.

Let no convict be spared, no law forgive all those

Who violate dignity of women who bring them shame and woes

If mothers and fathers join hands to shape character

Of their worthy sons and of their dear daughters,

If we don’t turn our backs and prove tough fighters,

If we raise our voice against every defaulter-

We will not have to hang our heads in shame

Reading the newspapers will not be a pain

No GUDIYA will be teased, no NIRBHAYA will then die

No JESSICA will be shot, society will not cry.

SOCIETY WILL NOT CRY, SOCIETY WILL NOT CRY.
