Before My Birth


When I was young 
Before my birth 
I never knew of the EDL nor the BNP  

Before my birth, in wombs of cradle..
When all love I knew...
Was from mother's loving feel..


Father's knowing, of my existence..
If so wish, was a touch 
On mothering womb..

I knew not of cold, always with warmth..
I knew not of hanger, nor of despair..
I cried not a tear..

I knew not of hatred, nor of class..
That of greed and of jealousy..
I feared not of death, nor of sin..


I carried, none of my fathers..
Weakness and fear
And his before him..

I saw, no colour of man..
And none saw of me as I was..
Well, how would I have " seen"  ..

I cursed no man..
And none did me..
Well how could I have " heard"


Before my birth..
I knew no man, nor of sin..
Well how could I have " known"
Before my birth..

  2. We are so innocent at birth ... wish the world could keep some of these traits of non-judgement. Nice take ...
