Missing: 160 Million Girls
Unaddressed is the issue of the missing undressed,
Begotten, then torn from this land,
Double X in your genes, you’re a lesser human being,
You ARE shame if you will not be a man.
Forgotten are the hearts of the swiftly departed,
Better off maybe so, maybe not
To be a father’s bane or guest towel stain,
Does it “matter” in the grand human plot?
Unseen by the media, the voices, the masses
Muted by kith and by kin,
Your laughter, a tonic. Our cries, dysphonic.
Oh chagrin, where can we begin?
