For Babies To Live Poem by Renu Kakkar

We humans have a tendency
to cry at the tiniest of a tragedy.
Like the loss of a loved one to another,
a promotion being usurped by another.

Imagine hospitals with little babies,
who have not even started their lives.
Having to undergo numerous treatments,
like Chemos and various levels of radiations.

There are still others with deformities,
who have to undergo corrective surgeries.
They bravely under go so much pain,
while we howl the loudest in vain.

There are still others with gene mutations
for which there are no corrections.
Each breath has to be measured,
A year passes for each step to be achieved.

Intelligent minds are trapped in such bodies,
communication to them is a search for possibilities.
We are living in our own world selfishly,
thinking our sorrows and sufferings utmostly.
