Cry of the Unborn

by Anwaar N. Hassan

Wonder I, of my sin
Why unborn, why no kin.
Ask I, oh mother dear
Love me, not fear.

Cherish, beg I, not scorn
Alive am I, unborn
Live must I, in womb
Rest longer still, in tomb

'Mistake...yes', you sigh
Ah! Hear you, pain feel I
Guilty am I? ... forgive
Punish, yes, but let live

Condemn, must you' why?
No sweet song, no lullaby?
Unwanted am I?'shun
Make haste then'be done

Sleep I, now, eternally
Wake will I, eventually?
Unknown, unheard'entombed in stone
I cry silent'I cry alone.
