The fate of a girl child

Those dark brown curls danced in the breeze,
the sunlight, her sparkling green eyes tease,
With a chocolate brown complexion,
she was a maiden of perfection,

When she'd break into a smile,
Happiness would spread down a mile,
Her hand they said could do magic,
Yet her end was tragic,

All she wanted was to go to school,
To even consider something like that, she had been a fool,
They broke the news that she was going to be their little bride,
That night she ran away , in the gutter she hides,

They caught her at dawn break,
they took her hand and drowned her in the village lake,
She still lies there,
And now everyone takes their girls to see her and say"this is what happens if with us you do not bear."

Let us strive to empower the women of India and the world:)
