~An Oath to Mummy~

Mummy,

If you keep me just for another day,
I promise I'll be a good child,
I'll listen to you,
and never ask for anything.

Mummy,
If you let me stay with you,
I am going to be a filial son,
and prove that I can succeed,
for you have brought me to this world.

Mummy,
If you take care of me,
I promise not to cry,
though it is not natural for babies not to cry.

Mummy,
why do you leave me
in a place like this?
of rubbish and unwanted things.
I feel sick, I can't breath,
Mummy,are you listening?

Mummy,
did i offend you
for breathing the same air with you?
what have I done to be treated like this?


Mummy,
please don't go,
turn around and look at me,
there's a better way than leaving me.
I know you still have a pinch of love.

Mummy
I saw a cat and its kitten,
how i wished i was the kitten,
to be cuddled and loved by its mother.
to feel cared and loved.

Mummy,
now that I know you will leave me,
I have only one little wish,
that I will be the last baby in the world
to be thrown away like this.

Mummy,
I will never understand why,
i will never cry again,
coz soon i'm going to say goodbye.
In my mind there's a question that runs wild ,
what if your mummy did the same to you?


~The recent cases of babies being thrown away like rubbish has opened the eyes of many. Suddenly, I felt like writing something for the babies. So, this poem is dedicated to all the unwanted babies, and a question to all the irresponsible mothers who threw away their babies like a junk. There is always a better option than throwing these innocent lives~
