America Mothers Facing Third World Odds? Poem by Terence George Craddock

America Mothers Facing Third World Odds?

Rating: 5.0


Where does America fail to tip the life saving scales,
to care for her birth mothers amongst most prestigue list,
first prize economically developed caring countries?

Electrifying figures stripping away third world runners
reveals Women in the United States face a 1 in 1,800
risk of dying a maternal death; worst odds of all developed

countries America left in dust neglect watches,
far away in lead leaders the top 10 best countries,
in the world to be a mother in European countries;

mostly winning oak leaves heralded
1st prize Norway to second prize Finland
to third prize on victory podium Iceland;

then proudly running in Denmark, Sweden,
Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Australia and
10th in top ten rankings European Belgium.

Europe where founding father's originated from?
Leaving Europe with dreams of a better world
to bestow on their children all their descendants!
