Mama Vomited Me
I came into the world of my own
but the world received me not
Mama pinched my cheeks
violently slapped and expelled me
and threw me in dustbin of rot
I wept and gnashed my teeth
called for my father in vain
to those passing near I shouted
But none responded to the cry
dogs, foxes ate me for breakfast
Discarded and abused before birth,
I ask; why did Mama conceive me?
Why was I rubbish in her womb?
Why not give me a chance to live?
But only echoes responded to me!
I see my name in the book of life
Like humans I’m entitled to life
my stake in the world waits for me
Yet this world denied me rights
Mama vomited me saying; “Back to hell!”
We, aborted ones dangle on clouds up
crying for life denied, life betrayed
we observe selfish humans on earth
busy with selfish and merciless life
Yes. We go back but the scar remains
