DEATH OF A BEAUTIFUL DREAM
- She dream of a beautiful life, But all she got was threats n beatings, Kicked till she bled, Her face disfigured.
- Her vermilion smudged in her own tears, She bled, yes she bled! No one to care, No one to love.
- She was abused, Tortured physically and mentally, All her dreams- They burnt in her pyre burning high, All her dreams too thrown away into the pyre.
- O man! Stop these inhuman ways of satiating your hunger, For lust and greed, For potful of money, As a price for that a poor girl’s life, For your pleasure alone! You bought her as a material, From the open market.
- To be in the kitchen To cook your meals and feed your over-weighing body! Give her a life, Don’t burn her body and dreams In the raging fire O stop this dowry system Outdated but still prevalent.
- Let her enjoy her life, Don’t let her shed a tear Curse will be upon you Hold her with your love, And not by burning her in the raging pyre !
