Poem Title:
Poem
The mother who loves her baby more than her own life Licked the withered baby tenderly And then, her long weak trunk rest on the baby Serenely drop-off hot tears for want of liberty Love is sharper than a diamond edge; big as the sea, and deeper without end The lives trapped in a deep abandoned well Little water left over from the long drought Is a lucky gift from unlucky fate? The baby was a tiny innocent scapegoat Sluggish creature remained calm Under the hungry belly of weeping mother That it brings her incredible pain Determination of the mother To release from the bondage is awesome Starved and weak and scarcely fit to crawl, tried to find a way across the rocky wall Gravity pulls them back so tightly together She thought and recalled about wonderful days “We travelled along leisurely Over moorlands and forests and plains with full of vegetation and abundant water valleys No one interrupted us and any fences and barricades!” “Freedom is our heritage Gift of ancestors the pasture lands, Green forest canopy, clean water holes And passages through life and many more For our existence! Those who invaded our habitat Charged at us brutally Oh… my kith and kin vanishing slowly” She tried not to shedding tears, Group of people gathered around the top edge of the trap There was a pandemonium! Some scolded “you rascal how much our crops destroyed” While some deep-hearted men and women, Express grief for their momentous fate in silence They dropped some thing to eat miserable captives Still the mother or kid has no idea About the rescue operation planned for them That leaves her withered heart burning “They have shown their prodigious ferocity They were not warned beforehand Human beings are beasts that consume Even the life of an innocent little one! Listen! The only force stronger than cruelty is the bond formed among a mother and child!” J.Weerakkody
