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!!!
