Regrets Contest

I didn't go I broke my promise my fault  those babies died  my fault the mothers cried. When I qualified as a midwife a promise I made promised my heart I would give them my time to help the poor women get their lives back in line all they face is pain and shame The male leaders have  no compassion terrible  conditions, no hospital or drugs no anything just  men who think sex is theirs for the taking. Leaving women with diseases and the babies they're making. Once my health is back on form off I  will go taking drugs with me to help the poor. Everyone is poor they are without without health without hope so desolate. Might be just a ripple in an Ocean of hell many a ripple would  surely tell Until that day I live with my regrets regrets that my life held  such consequences

Star, I think this without doubt shows your compassion, and your intent for the poor, but you cannot live for regret...David

this is sure powerful, Seren,, as i one with old values, see society crumbling before one everyday, and in your industry, where care is paramount, the powers to be will not be happy till that also is eroded away...this is wonderful poetry

Seren; This is so moving and touching. It is always the people at the top - that are to blame and men that don't care. I always say that some men, just zipper up their pants and keep on walking. Great poem. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla
