Oh God! Poem by Chandra sekharan

An imprisoned embryo
In mothers womb
Struggling for early exit
Its non stop, powerful kicks
Mother biting her lips
Because of unbearable pain
Shedding tears of expectant mothers joy
She counted seconds, minutes, hours,
Days, weeks and months
Waited and waited
The embryo wanted more food, for more Strength,
more air to surge out
And finally the day of deliverance happened
Infant rushed out
With a thundering explosion
Of blood and flame
Impact was so catastrophic
Parents were blown up
And shattered into millions of blood coated
Burning molecules
Was it a human baby with suicidal bomb
Both father and mother were
Hard core spiritualists
Extremistic terrorists
They wanted their god to rule the world
They said their god had sermonized
That non believers should be either converted
Or wiped out
Their baby’s explosive birth
Was highly symbolic
Oh God!
