Callous Deeds

Who was responsible,
of putting me there?

In my mother’s womb
Like a seed on a plant’
I lay in silence.

I was conceived,
In the nights of torment.
Vultures preying around for feed.

There were screams and requiem
Of wailing women
For all of their children were killed.

I heard them all
In silence, yell and screech
For blood torn and spilt.

Calm I lay in silence,
Afraid to let know
Of my being.

Flushed down a toilet,
Or stubbed out like a cigar,
My being will be.

Ho! How inhumane can they be?
Blood for blood they take
Eye for an eye.

I pity that woman, who carried me,
To the end she fought.
Her struggle, in vain.

Lay in silence
Dead!!!
On the footpath by the road.

The last heartbeat frail,
To death I sleep
No fear in me no more……
