Maternity

What do I know about maternity? The Heavily Pregnant’ Fraternity… First, labor cries a continuity, Next, shouts of victory an eternity: Lord God’s words had never returned empty, Mothers with new babes, their strengths empty: All of them just won the longest battle; When occasioned wrongs attract no rattle… Where you don’t meet smart men or The More of “Father” Seeker than Gold Digger, Male doctors, male nurses plus their husbands, Young men there during labor beaten bands! Where cut are cords joining mum and babies But restored through breast milk to the babies Careless still-births could maternities kill, Wide gulfs created few midwives refill; They know when to tell The Laborers “Push” For maternities not sited in bush.
