A Mother From The Rape Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Copulation is a basic desire implanted.
Copulation is the device for conception.
Desire to mate is a frequent affair.
Desire to conceive is an isolated one.

Conception is a joint venture planned
By man and woman in consensual sex.
The child born is to the liking of both.
What about the foetus from the violence?

Terminating the pregnancy is a choice.
Adoption of the child can be the other.
She is brave who owns the child born of rape
And humble the rapist and disown him.

Women divorced want to keep kids with them.
Mother's love on her child is not influenced
By her sour relationships with her husband.
A mother from rape must command respect.
