Daughters’ Day (16th Sep. 2021)

by Harshita Das aged 15

Today is daughter’s day,
Which gives me legal license to spread propaganda
For daughters

As I have personal experience of being a daughter
I consider myself an expert on the subject
I’ve been in this field
For over fifteen years,
So here I go:

Daughters are great
Daughters are smart
They don’t deserve hate
Just give them a chance

I know you want sons
Hoping for financial stability
And assurance that your child
Won’t run off with their special someone

But we daughters can earn you money too
If you love and treasure us
We’ll return the favor to you
And work just as hard

So dear future parents
Please don’t kill your children
For their atrocious crime of being a girl
And I promise
Your daughters will grow into jewels
