Cries of an unborn child
Herojit Philem *
Cries of an unborn child
Womb inside, the foetus cries-
Maa.....kill me, let me not see the world
Papa....don't struggle more to buy nappy for me
I want to die as an embryo
Not as a boy-
Having no food to eat,
In the hand of sepoy
Nor as a man-
Being failure
In the tussle of competition.
Mammy, Daddy let me die
How is world outside, before I see
For, I see all from inside you, Mom.
Dad, world is full of challenge
Laoded with battle;
Will you allow me to fight in the ring with own style
Or keep with bulky books in the room?
If so, kill me, let me not see the world.
