Aah! The cry of the approaching baby is heard.
Ooh! The mother feels better after she heard.
And she is at last relieved with the discomfort she had.

What is the sex of the baby? The father inquired.
What? Why a girl and a boy is what I required
The mother s to be blamed he declares.

The mother says it’s not her but God.
And to her a girl is more valuable than gold.
And this will be determined and bold.

The girl grows to ten without education.
She deserves to go to school for ignorance eradication.
To build her country and make it a better nation.

When she is twelve, she is subjected to circumcision.
They call it cleansing, that female genital mutilation.
And it is harmful and against our constitution.

Immediately she is forced into early marriage.
And then she looses all her courage.
And when pregnant she can easily miscarry.

Make the world a better place, to UN send delegation
In the parliament present a bill for discussion.
For this matter is serious and needs immediate action.

Let give the girls their rights.
Let them enjoy their days and nights
And God will help us and we shall relight.
