She, my mother, said me, "Don't wear shorts"
But not to my brother, "Soul, not body, is all that matters"
She said me, "Come home by 9"
But not to him, "Never judge a girl by time"
She said me, "Don't cast your eyes over a boy"
But not to him, "Don't see any girl as a toy"
Inculcating values in me,
She left a beast in him, evermore.
Had this not been the story of every girl,
Rape statistics would have nothing to score.
