/ Mother / Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

/ Mother /

Rating: 2.5


Is becoming
A mother,
Selfish or
Selfless?

Selflessness
Is the way
In which
You serve
Your child.
Duty comes
First. Served
With love.

Selfishness
Is when you
Want to have
The pleasure
Of becoming
A mother,
Despite knowing
That this world is
Full of suffering,
Yet you want
To usher in…
Another human
Being who also
Gets trapped -
In this vortex of
Diurnal living…
