The female infanticide song....

I really "liked" the title of that blog. So here goes the poem.



Female female go away...

We do not want the dowry day...

Mother in law says you got to be slayed..

Husband says I'm incapable

Of having a boy that brings him joy....

Even though his sperm is what decides,

They taunt me for what I have inside....

So we are going to India,

And you will meet your maker soon..

Female female go away...

Female female go away...we do not want the dowry day...

Here's a tradition Punjabis have taken with them from Punjab to the UK. Maybe the British passport for the Punjabi woman going to India should indicate as to whether she is pregnant or not and how far along the pregnancy she is. Cause once she is in India, aborting the female child is as easy as renting a taxi.

How many Punjabi families do you know where there are no boys? And how many do you know where there are no girls? No need to tell me the answer. I rest my case.
