With heavy heart
She moved wading corpses
Strewn among the crushed concrete
The yearning fragile cries
From the debris and ruins
The earth with her anger
And unabated fury
Unleashed against the man
Whom the Almighty created
By mistake to be a creature
Who move on two legs
With his spine straight
And hands free to do
What all havoc he can!
She cursed herself
Of being a human
Sighting the birds and animals
Not contumacious
To the whip of nature!
Her legs were pulled back
And halted to hear the cry
Of a deserted black babe
And she pulled up a life
From the loose earth
To see the horror
Of the most sacrilegious
Deeds of the nature!
She hugged the babe
As of her own
And kissed and fed with
The milk in her breasts
With love flowering in her face
And the suckling babe
Was a blackie
As she was a white!
So love did the good!
A true love from a mother who cares more for the child.
