Mercy waited for seven years,
But you never could appear.
She was being aggrieved for want of you.
Besides her praying for hours and hours,
You kept on avoiding.
At last you seemed to be appearing ,
But unfortunately
You left her in the lurch prematurely.
Shereene never wanted to sight you even ,
But seven occasions you fought the battle
With her to save your life .
At last you became victorious,
And you were lucky to see ,
A glimpse of the sun…..
But end up in the hell of a septic tank.
Was it your destiny?
And she became a murderer.
O’ Fetus! from where do you come?
The nucleus of life’
Out of millions of father sperms ,
The one that survives decides your father,
But who knows whose!
For you don’ t speak.
O’ Fetus who pours life into you?
To be in human form,
What power do you carry?
If not for the God’ s…
But why in this instance
Does she keep it a secret?
To protect you from the wrath
Of your declared father!
Whose love and wealth would bring
Happiness to your life.
O’ Fetus! what a creation
For you to be kept dumb and blind
Until you are born. -Col Albert.
I like this,
I believe this is a good write.
Sincerely,
Mark

Thank You very much for your feed back , Mark.
If foetus could speak
might say “I condemn you for bringing me unwanted into starvation and ignorance”.

Moralising standpoint
It doesn’t mean to say that women have the right either…..!
Thanks Jess. Sincerely Albert.
How True!
This poem of yours touched my heart. So many mothers wanting to get rid of the results of their little mistakes, while lot others yearn to have a small wonder come into their worlds! You’ve spoken about the same thing in different ways. I love the 1st stanza best as I also can relate to it some how.
Best Regards!

Starvation And Ignorance.
This is the very place where almost all the religious Teachers have not
given us the straight forward explanatiion to the effect whether “Kamma”, “Rebirth” or God’s will” could be linked to such unknown power of getting new forms after death and if it were the case, it could have helped one to find ones place of origin instead of struggling in an abyss of ignorance.Dear Jess, with much respect and honour to you , the word , “Ignorance”, as your matured mind implies,I too believe that it would be a cause for anyone to be misunderstood.regards. Albert.
Nothing but the truth
Dear Nilmini. First of all please accept my sincere thanks for your comments , and I am so happy to see a lady from the same motherland appearing in this poetic circle. I think we can share our literary values on the basis , ’ Art for art sake” as Shakesphere said. Regards. Albert.
