Say it to the female fetuses
you have shoved
down the drain
of your stinking desire
to have a male heir
say it to little girls
you denied food,education
and equality
say it to women
traumatized, brutalized
raped and killed
or silenced to
bear the agony
over and over again
say it to the women
you consider
just objects
lesser than you
in all respects
or best
say it to those women
your foot soldiers helping you
in maintaining status quo
come on Patriarchy
lets celebrate
your victims
whose resilience,even for you
is hard to let slide !
