hush now
for the world will know
the pain and agony
all that you hold
for words
will not reach
the directed ears
and blood will
shove your petty tears
hush now
for the world will know
you are weak and suseptible
your blackened future
your barren eyes
dont seek no more
for all's black and white
world today has turned
deaf and blind
hush now
for the world will know
you carry a burden on your soul
girl, your existance is cursed
you are given a part
to play a role
pack your wings,cocoon your dreams
burn your desires
give in to your destiny
hush now
for the world will know
walk the way, you have been told
dont ask why, question no more
girl, its not your right
dont be bold
stay shut,stub your voice
act like a dummy, mummified.

This is a wonderful piece, I had hoped people would see this side you have conveyed, my only niggle is a few gramatical errors with a few wrong words chosen... but all in all this is a great piece
I wish you the very best of luck for this contest, thanks for entering

Sad to know...
hush now for the world will know....
I like that verse most..has it's like silencing a secret.
It's terrible to learn about female infanticides in rural parts.Neglecting the girls due to overpopulation.or other reasons.I'm so touched by this poem.As it reflects the status of women in society.Sad to know...
