Newborn
November 28, 2023
The piercing cry has broken the deadlock.
Like the outbreak of a civil movement,
He comes in chaos, unsightly.
Scarlet red clots and creamy white pervade
The flaky skin with swollen bumps
As guns fire and people fall.
Soaked mother groans
with her last strength on the battlefield.
What is it they attain?
The umbilical cord is cut off.
Unshaken power has stood up for the
People: a new life has come.
