A Story of An Insignificant Mother

A story Of an insignificant mother trailed. When sledgehammered, pickaxed Excavated, craned and the progress of The ceaseless destruction of Demolished construction railed. So is a story Of an insignificant mother trailed. With wings flapped and heart ached, the dove An emblem of peace hovered for some tranquility for itself, As the stuccoes tore to rain With rusted flatirons and hanging windowpanes. So is a story Of an insignificant mother trailed. Her silent shrieks and mum squeals With chaos within and mayhem sealed, As the bricks crumpled down And built heaps on heaths. So is a story Of an insignificant mother trailed. Then some final cavalcades, And encroaching gust Of wrecking ball reconvened And collapsing of the structure prevailed. So is a story Of an insignificant mother trailed. Thrust onto the ground, Smashed and crushed Her nest that was on the old windowpane With two little hatchlings dead and broken. So is a story Of an insignificant mother trailed. Soaked and smeared was the sod With trivial bloodstains, As a merely existing mother Lost her kids to developments. So is a story Of an insignificant mother trailed. As the smokes of ruination came to rest With dust of mourns settling on her crest, Flew she away with unseen tears on facade To an unknown destination of maybe another catastrophic shade. So is a story Of an insignificant mother trailed. From: India Copyright ©: 31 July,2016

In every kingdom, a "mother" is important to its little ones. Your poem bring to us the crude reality of others' pain to which we are indifferent, without forgetting our mother earth! Well penned. :) Regs Sunita
