[hometext] => Read a poem titled HE on this site I dont agree with the poet comparing the mother's womb to a tomb so here is my thoughts regarding it.
[bodytext] => It was a long time ago when I was born Untouched by the meaning of flower or thorn They are right in saying that in this world my flame subsided Affected by this world’s vileness I confess that some of my actions were misguided But now I remember how it all had started Before I left the womb and for this world I departed They are wrong to say “there is darkness from whence I came” For that is where I learnt it all the beauty of a rose, the depth of the sky though I knew not the name In there I knew love not hate nor darkness or dismay And I felt god within me whenever I heard my mother pray. And all that the time while I was inside True happiness was by my side For I was still safe from the madness of the world outside But soon I realized that my time had come and that forever I could not hide. Before I could prepare it was time for me to go I was afraid yet excited for I wondered what the world had to show Thus I was born, amidst many cries, mine of fear but theirs of joy And heard my first words, “oh what a lovely boy” So I stand today after many a year Having felt laughter, joy and fear To remind you of the tomb from where we all came Just think for a minute and you will realize all we are all the same So think again before calling paradise a tomb For life begins not here but in our mother’s womb [comments] => 1 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 44 [informant] => dthwlkr [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Nostalgic )
