Spiral Existence

                                                        --- Masud Parvez

Dark Alley
Dirty slums
Odor soaked sheets
Travailing mother.
 

Quivering faster
Effectiveness of ignorant midwife
Sky rumbling scream
Arrival of a new face.
 

Torn quilt full of germs
Scarcity of crumbs
Light of education deprivation
Struggle for existence.
 

In her pitch black eyes
Discovering thyself
Her pale innocent face
Dreaming of a new life.
 

Two broken hearts joining 
Helpless effort to survive 
Once again a new life form 
Oh God! Why?
