Habeas Corpus

HABEAS CORPUS My daughter writes Where are you Dad? When'll you come ? Who builds walls between us ? Even if you come , how will I Recognisze you ? Blood simmers- I was safe in mamma's belly The day you stepped down With accompaniments Mamma lost her sense Today, my ninth birthday No cakes , candles and guests Where are you ? Parents meeting in school I stood alone embarrassed My Miss holding me,kissing on cheeks Friends say You are behind bars Is it Dad ? All relatives swear my birth Am I that doom'd Tell me Dad ! Mamma weeps often Looking at railroads Down our flat Says nothing- My daughter writes When will you come Mamma Me Where are you
