YESTERDAY I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS IN TRAIN . I WAS DEEPLY MOVED AFTER WITNESSING AN INCIDENT.. EMOTIONS TURNED INTO WORDS ..
DOWN THERE SHE SAT
DROWNED IN THE BLISS OF MOTHERHOOD
DARING NOT TO CARE ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD
FEEDING HER ONLY DEPENDENT
NEITHER SHE’S CLOTHED PROPERLY
NOR SHE’S CARED BY ANYBODY
NEITHER SHE REMEMBERS HER “START”
NOR SHE KNOWS HER “END”
DOWN THERE SHE SAT
CONSOLING HER LOST LIFE
FORGIVING THE FATE DECIDER
AND PLEADING FOR BRIGHT LIFE ATLEAST TO HER SON
WITH THE VERY LITTLE CLOTHING LEFT TO HER
SHE’S COVERING HER BABY NOW
EXPOSING HER NAKED BRUISES
AND HER TORTURED PAST LIFE
THEN SHE LEFT THAT PLACE
TYING THE BABY CLOSE TO HER HEART
WITH AN AGE OLD BLANKET
TO DESTINATION UNKNOWN
WHILE I WAS PRAYING FOR HER GOODWILL
ANOTHER SUCH CAUGHT MY EYE
REALLY GOD’S SO CRUEL
THAT HE LEFT NOBODY TO PUNISH HIM
