Teen Pregnancies Poem by Daya Nandan

A pregnant teenager walked in due to contraction pain,
She was rather chubby and dressed really plain,
She looked term and looked like she would deliver soon,
The night had already started as we could see the moon,

She went to the washroom for sometime,
And walked out as if everything was fine,
A senior doctor noticed her trying to leave,
He noticed something was unusual as he was not naive,

He told the staff to grab hold of her before she could run,
He questioned the young teenager about what she had done,
Her clothes were wet, she looked like she was in a hurry,
Such a long time in the washroom that anyone would worry,

He told the staff to check the washroom as fast as they could,
So the nurses and doctors did it as fast as they could,
They found a newborn stuck in the toilet bowl,
They called for back up and saved the child's soul,

The baby is safe and the mother is filled with shame,
For trying to abandon her child who she did not even name,
Baby dumping and teen pregnancies are serious issues,
Causing rivers of tears that cannot be wiped by tissues,

I hope that proper education and good parenting helps our teens,
To start being responsible and stop wasting their genes,
A child's life is something you cannot put a price upon,
You cannot bring back the gift of life once it is gone!
