ABANDONED (POEM) BY DR. SURAYA NASIM
Abandoned to the garbage bin,
With mosquitoes and insects
eating its tiny fingers away,
Little baby crying for help
as foul smells make its play,
irradiating from disposed bacteria.
Unheard shrieks of the baby's hysteria
die in eerie silence of the night,
"An outcast of destiny"
Its labored breath
racing in quick gasps
forced lonely like crap
with cyanosed lips
sea-blue nose and finger-tips,
Its tattered and torn dirty wrap
make it shiver in freezing grasp.
A filthy black cat
edges on to the holed bin
searching for easy rats
And finds its food
tearing at the babe's hair
with their sharp teeth
gnawing at its ears
to complete their feed,
As the cat jumps in
with a screeching meow
the rats let loose
a clicking squeak
A bloody chaos ensues,
The only sin of the infantBEING BORN.

The poetry Dr. Suraya Nasim writes is straight from the heart. It has no fixed pattern. It doesn’t follow any particular rule. The poems come as a flow.
