A Curse To The Mother Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

A Curse To The Mother

Rating: 2.8


One invalid begs and the other scavenges.
One dies in an arson, hailing his leader’s
name
And the other dies as a suicide bomber.
One commits suicide and one is a prostitute.
How happy and with what dreams their mothers
Would have been when they gave birth to these children?
Where are they now? If they live it is a curse.

Yes I agree with yoonoos, very thought provoking indeed.We all come into the world its what we choose to do in between birth and death that could make a mother proud or ashamed.Grand write

This is the way of life we are seeing everywhere in the world. According to Karmic theory, if we sow corn we reap corn and for every action there is an opposite reaction. If we do good we reap good. No other explanation is available to support the points raised in this thought provoking poem.
