Best creation

Female foeticide: a big evil in society, 
By killing female foetus, how can we face the Almighty?
We call India, our mother, 
Why do we slaughter her unborn daughter? 
We can come to know about sex of the foetus,
If it's female, we become Brutus. 
We kill the baby girl with a sharp instrument, 
But she is the world's best ornament. 
Sons alone can't continue your family,
So, the daughter's birth, let's celebrate gaily. 
A girl is more helpful than a boy, 
Yet we celebrate a boy's birth with more joy
Laws are there against sex-determination test, 
Still many continue to kill the new guest. 
Heed the cry of the newborn, 
Women! Think before you abort. 
As a girl is His best creation, 
And she's the future and pride of our nation.

Holy spirit

Oh God, where are you?
Do tell us too,
We want to meet you,
As soon as you help us do.
Some say you are in the sky,
In the moon and in stars,
Others say you are on the earth,
In nature and in pretty flowers.
To you as a holy spirit,
People worship and admire.
Some do it for several hours,
Yet they do not tire.
Though we can never repay,
The debt of your love and affection,
Yet we promise to help our fellowmen,
To their satisfaction.
