he talks of himself, says
his fight for his share
in inheritance is endless.
His brothers deny his rights
refuse to deliver.
He decries the custom
of his community,
where adopting a male is common
when the kartha has a daughter,
his mother- in- law being born
in such a family, he curses the system.
He bemoans, pines and fret
thinking of his lost wealth.
