A Mother's Clamor

Her voice unheard by the children she bore, she grew more desperate each passing day. Like ghosts within, voices haunted her. Echoes tormented her fragile mind. For weeks, she drowned in paranoia… From afar, she vividly heard the wails and mourns of helpless souls. "Are these voices of my dear sons? Oh, heavenly God I hope not. Please save my children from the talons of greed. In the warm solace of my humble womb how I wish they could be – to spare them from anguish and grief stricken pain." Hence, in solitude, the mother remained totally unaware of what lies ahead. Though she may have lost her angst ridden mind, what still dwelled in her was a mother’s heart.
