To the Newcomer!

a poem by Snehaprava Dash

O my child! Please forgive me.
I am going to bring you into this world,
when the environment needs my work,
the society want some dedicated workers
to free it from a number of ailments,
and million innocent faces in every corner of world
are striving for their basic needs.
It is injustice! But I am helpless!
I am not so strong to live for my ideals,
I bless you to step into this millennium
with the desired energy,
so that you can fulfill my dream.
