Sold for a few pennies

With tears

She looked at her smiling baby

Who just got into this world

Just a while ago

She was proud to be a mother

But she couldn’t afford

To raise her kid

Like she dreamt

Beautiful attires

Lot of toys

Nice food and education

Nor a good home

Destined to struggle

Facing a race against time

Every day

Just to survive another day

With scant resources

When other kids

Play around with fun

She couldn’t take her soul

To such a struggle

When she has to fight

To meet ends

As she can’t even spend time

She was alone 

Abandoned

To face this life

Scared to think

About a treacherous future

For her beloved soul

She thought to give it

A new lease of life

A prosperous journey

With love and care

As someone who craves to love

Waiting

Ready to take her soul away

Ready to

Spend a fortune

For rest of life

To raise her baby with love

She didn’t want money

To survive

She just wanted to get her baby

A secured future

That she can’t even dream to deliver

She kissed her baby for last time

She may not ever see her soul again

But she felt relieved

As she handed over

Her baby to an excited woman

She saw her sparkling eyes

Filled with ecstasy

Like that in small kids

When they get what they wish

Yeah it’s been a wait for long time

It’s been her only wish

Now it’s fulfilled

She cried as she kissed that baby

For the first time

She gave the mother

A bundle of currency

Well ,that money didn’t mean much

May be can get her some breathing time

To search for avenues to live

Baby kept smiling

As she turned around

Walked gingerly

Tears were unstoppable

She didn’t turned back once

As she couldn’t bear that sight

Seeing her baby being taken away

She walked to her home

Cursing at her own plight

Cursing at the man who left her

Costing her beloved baby

Forced to live forever

With the memories

Of a few moments with her baby

Feeling guilty

That she sold her soul for few pennies

But, she had no other choice

All she can do is pray for her baby

Cloned Baby

Everyone long to have a cute baby

Once they grow into their youth

With strong feelings of affection

Running inside the heart

To care an innocent face

As the time changed

Relations are in anarchy

Arranged marriages or love marriages

Now there’s no guarantee of getting along together

Egos are fighting it out over every silly thing

Nobody wants to give a damn inch

Dating is no more than a farce event

Many looking for one nightstand

Or to have live in relations without commitments

Age is not a bar anymore

                                  Some rush to marriage, thinking that it will work

Soon to part ways over some fights

Gays and lesbians are just like other couples

It’s hard to believe

Abandoned girls over pregnancy

Or girls walking away for lonely life

Single mothers and single fathers

A reality hurts some times

Time and time again

Cheating husbands and cheating wives

Secret affairs that kills integrity of marriages

Divorces are just like any other formality

No value for relations

There is no love for a lifetime

As people are looking for that elusive love

Always

The long battles for the possession of kids

It’s emotional war fought by attorneys

You can see tearful fathers and mothers

Seeing the court giving the rights of kids

To ex-spouses

Some may never get to see their beloved kids

There arises the question

What about having a cloned baby?

Countless couples struggle to have kids of their own blood

With treatments never yielding results

Some have to rely on donor banks

For getting pregnant

Giving an hidden feeling of guilt of failure

To the partners

Some have to rely on surrogate mothers

They hire their motherhood for someone else’s happiness

For some money

As mere carriers,

They never get to take care of those kids

Whom they given birth after ten long months

They face emotional separation for a lifetime

Why can’t authorities allow people to have cloned babies?

As the technologies are evolving

We have the dolly and other cloned animals

Lived in front of us

May be there’s some short comings

But I feel someone has to take initiative

That could change the lives of millions

Soon hapless cheated singles can have cloned babies

They won’t have to find out utopian partners

They can just have their babies

A reason worthwhile for living, than suffering alone

About-lost love and life

Then those hated lesbians and gays can have kids

Which once all believed as impossible scenario

Let’s make science fiction into reality

If guys can give birth to kid

With sophisticated techniques

Let’s have artificial wombs and incubators

Where babies can grow in peace

And doctors can keep the process in check

Babies are source for happiness

Every one has the right to have own babies

Those who oppose abortion

Open your eyes

See the pain of millions who crave for kids

Without emotional breakdown from relations

May be we can have a better world

With less unhappy relations

Let the singles be virgin parents, if they wish so

As they can’t bear the turbulence of relation

So that they have someone to look after in old age

Let couples have kids from their blood

And have some happiness in their families

You all support research on deadly weapons

For killing hapless and innocent people

Why you can’t let cloned babies to come to this world with smiles?

Just like those test tube babies did some decades back

I am waiting for seeing the smile of a cloned baby
