Let My Child Live

How could any mother ?
Ever gets so terrified
From her own brother
And how much ?
She ever gets so victimized
By existential pain
And life’s burden so insane

That she takes a decision
For any damned reason
Trying to save
Life and future of her child
From brother savages so wild.

How on earth ?
A mother can throw her child
Over the barbed wire
Trying to save her child
From beastly hell’s fire
To an utter stranger
And that too
To a foreign soldier.

She has lost
Her faith almost
In her own kith and kin
Who are bathed
In human blood and sin
So vile and utterly wild
Who are chasing her
And her unfortunate child
To ravage her feminity
And her sacred humanity

She will stay back
So her wild cousins
Can tear her skin
And humanity apart
But making sure
That atleast for her child
It will be possible
To make a fresh start.
