The Childless

The Childless The childless are not only those That has not protruding stomach experienced However, they are part of it The childless are not only those That theirs’ fell like a leaf eaten by maggot Yet they make up this group The childless are not only those Whose offspring cross the seas? And have their brains formatted I agree they are childless The childless are not only those That dies of hunger and poverty It is the worst type of childlessness The childless are not only those Whose sons misappropriate funds? Even when they make the citizenry suffer The childless are not only those Who moves from one NPF station to another? With an intension to bail Its most heart breaking The childless are not only those That replaces a jewelry box weekly In their heart begging, blaming God For the gift of a thorn in the heart Instead of the so requested children It takes more than birth To become a father or mother
