Gave birth to a female child
For the second time
But she was born
With a dazzling beauty in her face
And an incredible learning paceDuring all her school days
She was never second
No sooner than she became young
Vulture eyes started to pry on her
Evil spirits started to follow her along
Like insects after honey
And gamblers after money
People would emerge
Everywhere she went
In her bid to avoid them
She started taking different routes
So she started getting late to school
Her talent started to fade
So did her college grades
While all her contemporaries
Are busy with their studies
She's being forced to marry
Her future being obliged to depend
On her man to come
She will have to wait for a generation
For her talent genes to revive
In the form of her son
But if a daughter is born again
It will remain uncertain
Alas! A great talent shall remain
Hidden again
