Rip off your veils, girls, <br />As we are not born indifferent, <br />Rip off your veils, women, <br />As we are not born with the cocoon, <br /> <br />Let those dumb headed fight, <br />Let us not lose our loving child, <br />Let those arrogant march with might, <br />Let us not lose our dear brothers, <br /> <br />Rip off your veils in groups, <br />How many of us can be beheaded? <br />Even if they behead our loving heads, <br />Let it be for the future of the mother's love.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-of-a-mother/
