Life took form , a child who cried for breath!
Before they asked how healthy the baby was,
They asked - is it a boy or a girl?
The child wondered - what does it matter!
The child it grew, he played with a doll
Even as he cried out loud, someone snatched it away
They said, dolls are for girls
The child wondered - what does it matter!
The boy went to school, was happy he got a good friend
He told his folks about the friend, and they asked
Is he dark or is he white?
The boy wondered- what does it matter!
The boy went through his teens, was happy he met this girl
He talked of her to his folks, and they asked
What caste is she?
The boy wondered- what does it matter!
The boy grew to be a man, was happy to get a job
He gave the news to his folks, and they asked
Do you earn more than your friends?
The man wondered- what does it matter!
Life took form yet again, the man became a dad
Before his folks could say anything, he said
I don’t care if its a boy or a girl
Doesn’t matter if its black or white
All I want is just a healthy smile,
And uncoloured eyes that do not judge!
