China Doll (Ode to the lost girls of China) by Aaron HowardThis symphony of love and battle,
where we're herded like cattle...
Lambs to the slaughter
with your newborn daughter
Something so precious yet now lost
for not meeting that chromosome cost.
Overpopulation straining the system
and we know it's better not to resist them.
The cost is too great,
so it ends up being fate.
So another daughter lost, another to ashes..
and those final drifting dreams and flashes..
So as they lead her down that hall..
Say goodbye, to our china doll..
