I…she,
You… he,
That is the biological difference
Between You and Me
Created by cells
Chromosomes Y and XY
Grown in the womb… of fertility
Over the years science progressed
Ultra sound raped the womb
Gently echoing the heartbeats
A boy… or… a girl
A boy to survive
A girl for feticide
Chucked away crudely to die
Ask those childless couples
Why they opt for test tube babies
Or surrogate mothers… for comfort?
To cherish and adore
Or to be kicked aside in old age
When the legacy is passed on
Girls will cherish and adore
With no regrets
Why hanker after boys
Who becoming men
Spurn and mock your old age?
Reflect …
Who will give birth to men?
When there are no women
Eco- unbalanced.

A fact very well presented. Hope such people who favour having sons realise the great blunder they commit in thinking of girls as insignificant beings–a terrible burden on their parents. They’d rather be kicked by their sons than accept how loving and caring girls are! Weird thinking in an equally weird world of well educated, cultured and advanced society.
the ratio between boys and girls is fast decreasing
there is yet time to do away with this belief that boys are better than girls
