Buried Child

Joti G 2976 (Birmingham)

Narrative
There is country far away,
Where “women” travel to a temple to worship a “woman deity” to pray for “her” pregnant “daughter” to give birth to a ….. son.
May god hear their prayers, bcuz the land in this country may not exist  due to the burden of the buried girl child
