{POEM}: GOODBYE TO MOTHERHOOD

I hear the scream,
The wailing and creeping of kids
That have become helpless, hopeless on our streets,
They have felt the definition of pain, grown waned.
Life has wounded them in the brain,
Turned them to beggars in the rain
And smugglers of dead luck in the day
That are cursed by the arrogance of the 'Gates.'

Life is a dream,
Dream better dreamed than fulfilled.
Mothers used to be unique
But lost their uniqueness on the street,
Street where equality became real
And no kid is raised without evil scream
With their palms waving byes to 'motherhood'.
Who'd give Syria mother,
Who'd give her feathers
When Motherhood is astraying farther?
No good is more gained than lost.
Who'd give them shelter,
Who'd treat them better
When every living breathes from bad to worse?
