A Silent Cry Poem by ramesh rai

A Silent Cry

Rating: 5.0


A cry sounded in her womb
no one did listen but her mother only
may be due to her helplessness
to save the family and society
from ashamedness or what so ever
be the reason; but resonance of cry
is still alive; shouting and shouting

Mom! save me; I am your first love
I am the fruit of your divine love
I am the first runner amongst
millions of sibling which you conceived
and you want to destroy me
do realise my toils and wishes
for being brought up
with your blood, bones and marrow
when you 'll listen my every heart beat
I'll smile with your every smile
I'll sleep when you sleep
but leave me for few months
to grow up my every limbs.

One day you will give me birth
I'll weep but you'll laugh then
you'll kiss me and will get the grace
for being mother like the mother earth

Mom! leave me for few days
I do promise, I'd be your obedient
I'd be stick of your oldage and
of Dad too; but for God sake
please do not kill me

I am not at all faulty, you have admitted
the law of creation; thus i have come
in your womb, to fulfill your desire.

Mom! Please do not kill me.
Mom! Please save me.
Mom! Please give me life

The most impressive poem I have ever read, the theme is old but Ramesh Rai has presented it with his magic of words and beauty of description. It is not possible otherwise I would have rated it as100.

the fetus cried to stay alive inside her womb deep inside yet it would fall on deaf ears, because of society and the fear.

A brave message against the foeticide (namely female foeticide) is voiced out here. A very heinous act being done by the so called modern society. I also stand firmly by the side of this call.

Beautiful poem. This is really a silent cry especially if it happens to be of female foeticide. Beautiful lines.... Mom! Please do not kill me. Mom! Please save me. Mom! Please give me life Very true said, only Mom can hear the voice of the womb. Beautiful presentation. Loved reading it. Thanks for sharing with us.

This silent cry, no one can ignore, but unfortunately female foeticide is so very common, especially in the interiors of North India! Blotting out life before it blooms is brutal and devilish! A girl child may grow into the pride of her family, society or of the world itself..... Who knows! Great poem with a great message!
