That
first cry,
of
our first ever born.
Was
it a shriek, or
a screaming out,
to
tell the whole wide world,
that
you were born?
Born to this world,
where nothing is fair.
Hunger, poverty,
and raping of the forests,
give meaning to the greed...
the
filth that reins.
Hope is what you bring,
with
your screaming.
In my mind’s eye,
you
now reign supreme,
for,
I just made you a member of
the human race.
That perhaps is why,
you now sleep so peacefully,
oblivious to what,
is
to come.
But when you are up,
I
want to see you cry,
even
shriek and scream out loud.
Don’t you ever forget,
that
you belong to the “Humanu” race.
