Weren’t they women, who brought forth kids many, <br />And went through labour pains to give them birth, <br />And nursed and reared them all with love truly, <br />When almost earning their heaven on earth? <br /> <br />Yet, they all lived a longer life-span good, <br />Despite the strife, diseases of their times, <br />Invoking Maker’s blessings when they should <br />In joys, woes, grief and more turbulent times! <br /> <br />But lo! Women of modern world seem weak, <br />And rarely have more than a child in life; <br />To doctors, hospitals, they often go to seek <br />Relief from painful misery and strife! <br /> <br />They kill their unborn children by crude means, <br />And live in threats of God’s rod – hellish scenes!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-women-then-and-now/
