The Unheard Cry

O woman, bearer of life,
Why did you wield that cruel knife?
Nine months I swayed in your womb’s embrace,
Yet now I am cast, erased without trace.

The cave of birth, once filled with light,
Became my tomb on that fateful night.
I dreamed of your arms, your gentle care,
But met the cold of a world unfair.

My first cry, a plea to be seen,
You silenced, hidden, wrapped in a scene.
Thrown as refuse, my life undone,
A nameless soul, a forgotten one.

I cannot call you mother, no,
For love and grace you did not show.
The worst of sins, the heaviest weight,
A fragile life, you sealed my fate.

The law may shield you, grant reprieve,
But my pain lingers, a wound that won’t leave.
O woman, your heart turned to stone,
I was yours, yet you left me alone.

Remember this cry, though faint it may be,
It echoes through eternity.
A child discarded, a story untold,
A life unlived, a grief uncontrolled.

A Plea to Santa


Oh, Santa, bearer of light and cheer,
Don’t bring hopes that wither, year by year.
For children starve, their dreams turn black,
In a world where kindness seems to lack.

If you must come, let it not be in vain,
Bring healing for hearts steeped in pain.
Jobs for the weary, lessons for the lost,
Peace for the strife, at any cost.

Selfish hands clutch what they don’t need,
While the helpless cry and plead.
So, Santa, this Christmas, let your sleigh
Carry justice to pave the way.

Not toys or tinsel, not fleeting delight,
But a spark of change in the darkest night.
Oh, Santa, hear this earnest plea,
Be the beacon of what we long to see.

To Pappa

Pappa, I hate you for leaving without a word, Vanishing from our lives, your voice unheard. I hate you for departing with that gentle smile,...
