To My Mother

Mama Why did you give me birth to this world? So cruel and unjust! Why did you take the pain for months ten? and then labored me out from your womb, where I felt so safe and sound. It's jungle out there Rule is, kill or be killed Your love and affection cannot shield me from my enemies; they are hovering with knives in their sleeves I am longing for shower of love, I only see overcast skies but no raindrops. I am wounded and hurt I am lying there in pool of blood The sweet smell of your body, Your tranquil eyes, your kiss and soft touch, Only that reminiscences I live on, And I remain grateful for.
