Twins Reena and Raju are born
Raju is welcome with a smile,
And Reena with a sigh;
Raju gets a toy car,
And Reena gets a doll;
Soon Raju goes to play cricket,
Reena gets a kitchen set;
Raju is taught to be strong
Crying is wrong
Since you’re to be “manly “
Reena is conditioned to be “womanly”;
When Raju is given a book,
Reena is asked to cook ;
Papa saved equally
For Raju’s education
And Reena’s dowry;
Raju stayed at home,
Reena is sent to stranger’s house;
Raju worked & earned as a manager,
Reena too worked but did not earn as a homemaker;
Reena gave birth to twins
Rizzy and Kushi
She decided to raise them
The way they were born
As equals…
