A request to society

Foetus -
A request to society
Don't abort us in hasty
I will thank you wholeheartedly!

Newborn girl child -
A request to society
Don't poison us prematurely
Allow us to live; We might
light the lamp in your family!

A newly-wed bride -
A request to society
Not to indulge in bride burning
for the sake of dowry!

A grown up woman -
A request to society
Women are part of everyone's family
Consider us to live peacefully!
