In Need Of A Mother Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

It is said that I was by chance
Otherwise my father did not want a son

He fled from home for three days
And came drunk of country ale to see my face

He kicked me when I was growing up
Telling I was a disgrace to the family

I did not what he meant
How I was a disgrace in this young age

One day my grandfather whispered into my ears
My father did not have a mother for long
She died when he was just two months old

He felt sad why girls were not coming to his home
