Mother came back from a hospital checkup
She said the white man is a wonder
For with a machine she knew not its name
The doctor looked into her womb
And saw all the babies she was going to have!
The current one, and the rest to come years later
We were stunned
How could this be?
Amazing the things happening in the world!
We were little children
And amidst the fascination
Our major concern was what those unborn babies
Were doing under the doctor’s microscope
Playing soccer
Dancing in the rain
Or sleeping peacefully in a cot
Little did we know
That mother’s story
Was her perspectives
of realities
And we would one day grow
To tell our own tales
