Social Conditioning Before Arrival Birth Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

we condition
our children
from first contact
first embraces

immediately
after their birth
given is love
in multiple hues

given is wealth acceptance
warm sense welcome
rainbows colour love
elfin strands stream gold

even floating ripple rocked
in warm growth womb
darkness comfort kicking
stretching begging love

before arrival birth
baby already knows
mother’s spoken voice
smell tastes moods

baby is contraction born
knowing mother love
or starved of mother love
dice are already rolling
