Breast is dry

Breast is dry

--------

Breast is dry,

You are asking me why,

Before full grown breast, got married,

Did not satisfy, the boy, I had,

In returned, got twins in empty hand,

Under hill terrain, open sky,

One can walk through, streams and valley with joy,

Romance you all desired, 

With a boy, from teen age, ample I played.

Nutrition rehabilitation center well cared,

After 15 days, ceaseless tears, I had,

Secreting as much as I can,

Bouncing prayers, 'let tears become milk from my breast for my twins children',

You are asking me why?

My twins will die,

I am bony, perishing muscles with anaemia, prescriptions, reply.

Over them, two more elder one are there, 

Husband is Below Poverty Line, 

Wage earner, Ho tribe, 

Rice, government gives, without pie,

Read poem as much as you like,

Don't demand anything free, I too don't like. 

Come and see milking of ACC, Rungta, Tata here,

And also cow milking Mela organised here,

Just behind DC, SP, Prashar Bharati Bangla of here..
