She is your real God, she's d' savior

 

Do you believe in life after delivery?

asked one of d' twins in a firm tone

why, of course! replied d' other guy,

it's strange to assume there is none

Both created, at the same moment,

from d' same ovum, a single sperm

same gender and similar character,

but how so unalike their cognition

Something has to be after delivery,

in mom's womb, both locked horns

we are here to prepare ourselves,

in d' future to face odd situations

It's all rubbish, completely absurd,

there cannot be life after delivery

its utter nonsense to imagine one,

need not be so panicky, don't worry

 

Intuition tells me d' gloom to go,

not know for sure cannot assure

get ample space, a discrete world,

with bright light, more than here

Maybe we will walk with our legs,

only for summersaults, now valid

be able to eat from our mouths,

till now, gulp only amniotic fluid

Won't figure out now grow senses

to grasp colors, relish d' eatables

flavors, d' feel of free-floating air,

perceive the entities now unable 

The first replied it appeared absurd,

walk unfeasible for us d' swimmers

here in d' unruffled amniotic ocean

and to eat with mouths? ridiculous

Receive everything that we need,

d' umbilical cord grants nutrition

life after birth, logically excluded,

a little cord can't peruse to perform

I think there ought to be a miracle,

maybe it's different than it is here

there's something, a curious setup,

this physical cord, of use no more

Nonsense, if there's life exists there,

why by now she has not come back?

delivery undeniably is the end of life

post-delivery era is only d' darkness

A period, nothing but a gloomy span,

a vast vacuum, silence, and oblivion

takes us nowhere, no relief/ rescue,

get extinct, vanish, altogether gone

Unable to convince you, d' 2nd said,

but I am sure we'll meet our mother

she'll take care of us, without a doubt

just wait and watch, do not bother

Oh! Do u really believe in mothers?

it looks laughable, nothing but a joke

if she exists, then where's she now,

she's all around us better not to talk

We are surrounded by her totally,

we are of her, and in her, we exist

can't think of a world without her,

if she is a non-entity, we're extinct

Attempt to freeze all d' movements,

then focus and listen, keep silence

her sweet loving voice you can hear,

and for sure perceive her presence

Calls down from above in caring tone

in no time, depart your fear factors

all your apprehensions will vanish,

she's your real God, she's d' savior

Chitchatting, gossiping in a tea hut



An amusing moment, enjoying,

the only time, totally tension free

at d' thatched road-side restaurant,

each tossing down a cup of hot tea

A group of doctors gossiping loud,

under the mango tree, a tweetup

d' morning walk, just over, have to

rush to d' Hosp. after a freshen up

Saw a man limping toward them,

one of them offhandedly was sure

ought to have arthritis, left knee,

carried d' body weight for long yrs.

It's a worn-out joint, osteoarthritis,

in d' above-50 guy, an aging affair

d' weight bearing tough right now,

d' full-range mobility seems absurd 

Watch with care, it's a faltering walk,

the second guy said inadvertently

senses a stabbing pain near d' heel,

to put it on d' ground, walk steadily

A hurting fascia in d' flat of the foot,

in his left foot, has a plantar fasciitis

first few steps, worst in the morning,

foot in a hot water bowl proves nice


               The 3rd said it could be a trauma,

might have met with an accident

an incidental twist in the ankle,

from his limping walk, it's evident

The associated minimal swelling,

not appreciated from a distance

few fibers of d' joint capsule torn,

of an ankle sprain, ample chance

 


The 4th said, see d' man carefully,

trying utmost, can't lift his left knee,

to me, it's a thigh muscle weakness

a lower motor neurons palsy, I see

might be a peripheral nerve injury,

d' long-standing medical condition

neurological test, tell lost reflexes,

with muscle wasting, fasciculation 

A typical scissors gait said d' fifth,

his left upper limb also looks weak

no active movements, visible in it,

it looks like a case of hemiparesis

Before d' 6th proclaims a diagnosis,

he reached the group, got closure

saw at them, asked in a tired voice,

here nearby, if I can find a cobbler


Broken slipper has punished a lot,

unable to walk, drag it any further

the morning walk is totally spoiled,

now focus on repair of my slipper


As d' experts talk in social forums,

d' media trail teams in TV peruse

sword tricks demo in the studio,

to fight a burning national issue


Without any clinical examination,

not applying acumen of any sort

medicos arriving at a diagnosis,

chitchatting, gossiping in a tea hut
