Beloved Parasite for moms everywhere

Poem in rhyming quatrains

 

 

Beloved Parasite.

 

Within the womb two strains combine.

Some genes of your with genes of mine.

To form a brand new entity.

Which thrives in the security.

 

Divides and sub divides again

develops limbs, organs and brain.

All of its needs mother supplies

A veritable paradise.

 

Takes what it needs quite selfishly

 existing parasitically

Its only purpose is to grow.

That’s all it knows or needs to know.

 

But mother knows the time will come

when he must leave his present home

and face the hostile world outside.

Her hopes and dreams well satisfied

 

Although the baby will

and seek the comfort of her breast.

There is no choice it has to be

an independent entity.

 

No longer just a parasite.

The baby still retains the right.

To have its wants and need supplied

which mother’s readily provide.

 

 A petty tyrant who demands

 obedience to his commands.

A whimper brings her to his side

His wishes must be satisfied.
