POLIO: Also a Deadly Virus


The cry was heard with fullness of joy
The moaning and pains of the mother
In split of seconds forgotten
Behold a baby is born
The promise of the most high fulfilled

In his heart the father is laden with joy
As he fights his vocal cords to restrain
Which tirelessly wishes to unleash the shout
But his lips extend in both corners
As high up in his hands the baby is held

The mind is set up to wander
Making its journey in the future to come
As the baby fixes its gaze on the mother
While she endures the suckling in feeding
And her heart filled with happiness

Who knew the terror that lay at night?
Taking advantage of the deeds not done
The necessary thing taken for granted
Owing to ignorance or disbelief
The little thing that makes the great impact

Subtly and quietly it makes its ploys
Making its ways through the sinews
Oh! Poor little defenseless creature
Unarmed and innocent, how would you know?
But mother and father have failed in this trail

Then in a moment or two to come
As the child grows alongside
The hit of the evil slowly unfolds
Just like the thick dark clouds slowly cover the sun
Prior to a heavy down pour

The tear of the mother as she watches him limp
Struggling with all objects just to make a step
The father as well breeds sorrow in his mind
In thoughts of the misery to bear so long
What a curse from the gods they all say

But it’s never a curse at all
It is the manifestation of virus infection
The one that shrinks and paralyses
Causing great discomfort and misery
And shortening the lives of others through death

The untold misery is not in the outcome
It is in the realization of the child now grown
That his ordeal would have been prevented
By the right steps taken by the parents

Just by immunizing the child against POLIO

Please Immunize your child against Polio!!!
