Bhagirath Choudhary- Let My Child Live

Bhagirath Choudhary-

Let My Child Live

How could any mother ? Ever gets so terrified From her own brother And how much ? She ever gets so victimized By existential pain And life's burden so insane

That she takes a decision For any damned reason Trying to save Life and future of her child From brother savages so wild.

How on earth ? A mother can throw her child Over the barbed wire Trying to save her child From beastly hell's fire To an utter stranger And that too To a foreign soldier.

She has lost Her faith almost In her own kith and kin Who are bathed In human blood and sin So vile and utterly wild Who are chasing her And her unfortunate child To ravage her feminity And her sacred humanity

She will stay back So her wild cousins Can tear her skin And humanity apart But making sure That atleast for her child It will be possible To make a fresh start.
