Wings or Cage
What will you give your girl, your daughter, sister, wife ; wings or cage?
Overcome we will have to that deadly, that centuries old airtight image
Cut off barriers we will have to, those that will come in our way, at every stage
Surely from MCPs, from the orthodox there will be a strong outrage
Think of it, we have conquered sati, from a child-widow's torture, we have come far
Female infanticide overcome we can, if educated n independent mothers are
Education is a must for every girl of every strata; there shouldn't be any bar
women are as talented n clever as men, they can, if motivated, become a shining star
Fathers, grandfathers, brothers, husbands should decide this important fact, listening to the voice of their conscience whether girls should be given wings, their wings should be clipped, they should be caged or female eggs destroyed.
