My Mama Rot's Away Poem by Anuj Tikku

My Mama Rot's away
On her hospital death bed she rot's away
Her cancer cells eating away her healthy tissues
Her bloated tummy infested with bile and froth
On her hospital bed her body rots
A healthy and beautiful woman she use to be
The greatest mom in the colony
She was the chirpiest of them all
In her warm shadow I was always having a ball
She whispered lalla by's to me at night
Looking at me with eyes bright
Now that I see her wasting away it gives me a fright
Her hospital bed is cold her body is frail
Her skin is warted and pale
She fights away until her last breath
He body is numb her hair are falling
She use to stand straight but now she is crawling
Her breath is hard and she is constantly coughing
Huffing and puffing as if she were jogging
She eats little, she is half her size
Her organs eaten up by her cancer cells
It's time to call the nurse it's time to ring the alarm bells
Her body aches with needles puncturing her skin
She is so frail she can't even walk
I have to come close to her then only she can talk
The nurses run around giving her medication
The drips, the saline, the blood and other injections
The B.P machine beeps away making a loud sound
One last ditch is on to save her
No more no more she has had enough
Stop stop she cries let me go
Now death has come to take me and it's my last show
With one big heave she breathes her last
Her pulse fading quick and fast
I collapse on the floor seeing her demise
She use to be a big mama but now her body is half her size
The night has fallen it's time to call it a day
As I stand by her bed seeing my mama rot away
