My unborn girl child

I know in my heart 

the deep desire to have you

in my thoughts

in my womb

in my arms someday 

would have flamed an argument with the God.

You are my unborn girl child.

I know your pristine pious soul 

have pleaded so hard 

to be in my life 

to be my girl 

to be in my world 

would have whirled his world of justice.

You are my unborn girl child.

I know his callous robust reply 

unveiling sheer strident truth of the world 

is depraved

is ostentatious

is a dreadful place 

would have shattered your soul's hope.

You are my unborn girl child.

I know your absence 

from my life 

missing on feminism 

missing on gossips 

missing on emotions 

will enshroud me in"incomplete mom" plight.

You are my unborn girl child.

I know in my brain 

the deep fear of bringing you 

in the world of wolves (rapists)

in the world of man (gender discrimination)

in the world of blame (to have a girl child)

 has debilitated my desire to conceive you.

You are my unborn girl child.

What I don't know 

is the way, to admit to you

being missed 

being sought

being craved everyday

will keep my eyes soaked in tears.

You are my unborn girl child.
