Despite the relaxation
Of the one family law
Unmarried women cannot
Give birth
And nobody dare ignore
If women become pregnant
They must abort that soul
Or they will be aborted
Thats China’s control
Gendercide is prevalent
A very violent fact
And this discrimination
How do we react
For women and girls
Its awful
In this day and age
Leading to a shocking toll
In babies
And a rage
Recently in Beijing
Crying sounds were heard
Out of a public toilet
It seems what had occurred
A young women flushed
A new born girl
Down a public loo
And her body caught in the
S bend
It just did not flush through
The police were called
And rapidly they pulled the baby out
She clearly wasn’t meant to die
The rules so many flout
Women and girls are unwanted
In China Today
despite the so called relaxation
It hasn’t gone away
Women’s rights without frontiers
Have saved 200 souls
Its scandalous that its happening
That there are not controls
We cannot have this prejudice
We cannot have this pain
Equal rights are essential
Without them its insane
The value of a human being
Male or female must
Be seen now as important
What is right and just
To even contemplate the thought
Of killing a young soul
Is conscienceless and contemptible
And totally out of control
It is now up to the government
To really give the lead
To respect all human life
And help all to succeed
This adage of it being acceptable
To feel
Hard done by having daughters
Is totally unreal
