WHY

by Dr.anant

My mother was malnourished
Also during her all pregnancies
Hence, I too was under-nourished
in her womb during my organogenesis !

As my brain was not developed properly
during my intrauterine life
{Same thing did happen to my poor wife}
How do you expect me to have, too
perfect intellectual abilities as others do ?

Because of malnourishment
I've multiple disabilities
And my mental growth suffered
Throughout my infancy !

Now I can not compete with
the open merit talented people
And can't have highest artistic skill
as my contemporary have !

I'm forced to live this vegetative life
just because I can't respectfully die
For that I need reservation in all fields
Even though you question--Why ?

A truly forthright poem, my good friend Dr. Anant; your poem is beautifully written with not one word out of place... thus it blies any intellectual disability to my eyes. Very well done, Mary Ann
ps: Melly asked me to tell you her computer is not working and she cannot access gp right now. She will return as soon as it is fixed. I know we'll all miss her. Take care.

    Thank you dear Mary,I was wondering why Melly did not comment on my poems for long time. I thought she would be out of station.At present I'm also busy to get admission for my daughter at a college, Thank you once again for communicating Melly's message to me. I have been missing her a lot !

very sad because it holds so much truth and asks a question society will need to answer one day soon.
