Justice for the Childless

A year has passed since she lost what made her an avis;

A lot has happened since the tragedy and the crisis-

Still she has nothing at hand and feels aimless!

How is it that solving people’s problems is her business-

And she has to accept being helpless?

They tell her the system is slow and cumbrous-

And that she isn’t the only one but the waiting seems endless!

Inside her is a longing that could swallow the universe from emptiness

And though her claim is humane and doubtless

Still a man stands in the way of all that is priceless

A child is a woman’s promise-

Of endless love and cheeriness 

How can people be so cruel and godless?

A mother and child share a bond so glorious-

Not even a court can break nor an impious!

So tell me is it wrong to go on with huffiness

When all I see is deceit and injustice?

I am sick of all the excuses and inaptness

Yet what can I say here I stand a woman who is childless

Facing a panel in a world that’s lost its sense of justice!
