Hunting the child
From the time it's called "she"
On one hand she's called deity
Then why injustice done to thee?
When she can herself
Come to your door,
Along with fortune and happiness
Then why ask for anything more?
In lieu of showering her
With happiness and pleasure,
They use her as an advantage
To fill their monetary treasure.
Dowry practice
Is such a heinous crime,
Qualities come later
Finance is prime.
Shame on the grooms
Vowing to love her,
Why such camouflage,
When you cannot honor her?
Shame on the bride's parents
Who consider her an obligation.
And thus, continue to bear
The in-laws' obligation.
They endure the cruel practice
To show that they really care,
They take loans, borrow and beg
And turn her life to nightmare.
Spending extravagant wealth
Towards such brutal crime,
Same wealth used for her development
Could make her a star, so prime.
Thus, eradicate dowry.
It's such a heinous crime,
Qualities come later
Finance is prime.
