*This is the ballad of the girl child* Who has suffered so much pain *She has been killed before birth* *She has been singled out and raped* *Burnt and abused during communal riots* *Who has been made to work as child* *Not given her due right* *Been fed on leftovers* *Been pulled out of schools* *Been married off as a child* *When grows up to have her way in love* *Tortured by the parents* *Killed for honour, to wipe out shame* *Sacrificed for name.* *This is the ballad of the poor man* *Who has never had the right* *To live a care free life* *Impoverised and lacking* *The good things in life* *When he remains until death* *Most of all to be at the mercy of all other* *Crush ego and most times hunger* *To gulp it down the gut*

May I plug "walkfree.org" an organization dedicated to setting the 30 million humans now in slavery free? You have written so eloquently for them.

There are still so many countries in this world that have no women's right at all. Some met with "honor deaths", and some would simply mysteriously disappear due to family's poverty; or perhaps due to family's preferences. Some countries are still favoring male child over female child. Sad, but true.

You have written the ballad of much of the world's people. Still depressed and in much poverty. The cycle of life being very unkind because of the circumstances they were born into.

This one touched my heart deeply...the inequalities in societies...we can only do our best with our thoughts and actions and political beliefs to change such terrible Inhumanities...
A really well written and deservedly hard hitting piece...

Awww . . . Such things happen the world over, my friend. Mankind has a very distasteful bent, and it seems it will never end. It is so very, very sad what we do to each other.
