Precious progeny, priceless posterity
O daughters! you are the mantle of days to come
You give birth to a whole new generation
The foundation of a civilization you build to blossom
Frolicking and playing in the parents’ home
Pampered and loved by one and all
You spread cheer, love and happiness around
Without you the home lacks a soul
You become the spreader of joy when you marry
Your other home now becomes your own
You handle responsibilities entirely new to you
Emotionally supported or sometimes alone
And yet you aren’t welcome at birth by your own
Your biological vulnerability is misused by many
You are groped, molested, raped abused and burned
Blamed for every incident unsavory or uncanny
Daughters! You need to stand up for yourself
Refusing to take injustice lying down ever
Remember silence would never lead you anywhere
Fight for justice and speak up against the perpetrator
