DREAMS OF THE UNBORN
DREAMS OF THE UNBORN
Cocooned inside I lay so fragile
To see the world it'll take a while
For now I get all I need from her
What she takes, in me all they transfer
Shouldn't she be careful of her diet?
Must her thoughts and emotions be right?
For the unborn inherits them all
Though hidden inside the human wall
Eyes closed but with beating heart I lay
Curious to get out on the ripened day
How will I be welcomed by the world?
Will it be nice or everything swirled?
In fact, I got a thousand queries
To be asked about human theories
If I land in a fallacious place
Will I ever see a saviour's face?
Let not my true self be diluted
Let not a single dream be looted
As I set my foot on human world
Let peace and happiness be unfurled.
