A cry of a child is heard.
A cry of anguish.
A cry of pain.
A cry of a girl in labour,
About to bring forth a baby.
She's just a child.
Laughter is remembered.
The laughter that filled the air
When she was dressed as a bride
And sent to be a wife.
No one seemed to care that
She was just a child.

Silence is heard.
Silence so deafening.
Silence so heavy.
A child's body is brought out,
The body of the girl in labour.
She was just a child.
source
A cry of an adult is heard.
A cry of loss.
A cry of a mother
Who just lost a child,
A child who was in labour.
She was just a child.
No to child marriage.
