INDIAN LULLABY

A Poem by JENY
"

Last week there was a mews that some Jerman technology has developed a software which, they claim, can interpret cries of babies so that mothers can rely less on their instinct

       INDIAN LULLABY

 

 

Hey my child…

Your cries are categorized..

Into five…

 

One for food..

One for thirst..

One for warmth…

One out of fear..

And one, for a clean diaper.

 

I scroll pages of my I-pod

Search for a tag..

That may tell me…

How many times you cried for me..

 

This little I-pod

Little than you..

Try to duplicate me….

My instinct, nature’s gift.

 

This little I-pod

Between me and you.

Translates beats of my heart

Into bits of zero and one.

 

It detects five of your cries.

I laugh in remembrance …

Of myriad hues of your cries

Laugh painfully at the follies

Of a Jerman savvy.

 

Hey my child…

I do not categorize thy wails…

For, I may stumble..

Upon a cry…..

 

Cry of thy soul in travails

That can never be hushed in your life.

Cant be quenched even by my milk…

Or my warmth…

 

No software can detect it..

Only this womb knows it…

In whose darkness, soft…..

Your soul entered your body.

What an honest reaction to scientific, cold reports... Love is the deepest need, and truly all others are profoundly met when love flows freely.. Your last lines made me stop and take a breath..

some silly errors .. it should be German and not Jerman !

am not a woman and so can't comment on this aspect that relates to maternal instinct !

lullaby always occupies a special place in everyones heart, for it can never be replaced by another, your writing reveals truth that no software can reveal or realize the bond between the mother and a child....
Read my poem "lullaby" and hope you will like it

The maternal instinct is strong and has been adequate for centuries upon centuries. Although I do remember a colic-crazy time, where it took me a bit to figure out the problem.....oh, another category-pain!
