Can I Go Back to Your Womb, Mommy?

Can I go back to your womb, mommy?
My life is so unfair and terrible
Can I hug you tonight, mommy?
Those people are so mean and cause me trouble
Can you hold my hands, mommy?
My enemy try to call me with a label

Can I go back to your womb, mommy?
I'm tired of facing the truth–so painful
Can I hug you tonight, mommy?
Those problems turn my life not so cheerful
Can you hold my hands, mommy?
I'm standing on a place which is so awful

Can I go back to your womb, mommy?
I feel lonely and sick of this world
Can I hug you tonight, mommy?
I have nothing more to be sold
Can you hold my hands, mommy?
I have neither faith nor religion to hold

Can I go back to your womb, mommy?
I never ask to be born like this
Can I hug you tonight, mommy?
What a cruel life it is
Can you hold my hands, mommy?
I feel like I fall into abyss

    Very touching text! :/  …And iIt's always good, when there's still a "mummy" at all who can hug you.

    +Charles van Dijk I took off, after posting. Just got in the newsroom about 20 minutes ago. What's wrong with the poem? I posted it just to bring awareness to some parents. Sometimes, parents don't know how bad their children situation is.

    Thank you +Rene Sidler It's a very touching poem, indeed. I could never how bad it is for the unfortunate children to deal with when facing this kind of lives.

    +Evelyn Mothes I agree, very touching, and for those with parents, still considered very lucky, but only if the parents understand. There are many parents, wo are not willing to give the comfort and support the poor kids need.

    February 25, 2013

    +Jendhamuni Sos Yes, you're very right, parents' understanding would be necessary. This poem reminds me of my own childhood, when I was silently crying so often, longing for a hug or comfort… Thank you a bunch, Jendhamun, for this wonderful poem, and have a pleasant day my friend!

    +Evelyn Mothes I feel exactly the same and understand how you feel. During the war, I was only a little girl, who's desperately needed comfort from especially my mother. But I was not that lucky. They took my mother a way from me. Once in a while I got to see her and waiting for her to come and hold me. Onley once a month, I would get to see my mother. As for my father, I hardly got to see him. They took him a way, far a way from us.

    नज़र को नज़र की खबर ना लगे,
    कोई अच्छा भी इस कदर ना लगे,
    आपको देखा है बस उस नज़र से,
    जिस नज़र से आपको नज़र ना लगे.

    basic thought of Buddhism is accepting the pain. try to follow it on sad moments

    Very touching. Sad but true. I feel that way sometimes.

    +Jendhamuni Sos What about NOW? Are your parents with you again? Are they alive? Are you adult and have an own family meanwhile? In which country do you live? Is there still war? There's nothing about your actual personal situation written in your profil, but your words written there in I like very much. You're a very kind and pleasant person Jenshamum! 🙂

    My mom passed away but im here it makes me stronger god bless

    +Evelyn Mothes I live in USA (near Boston, MA) with my parents and many siblings right now. My parents survived, but most of my uncles got killed – so many of them, only one left. I don't put anything on my profile because I do Human Rights work and the Cambodian government is not happy. So I don't talk much about my family at all. Many things I went through in life. I had to work since I was around 6 years old. Because during the invasion, my entire family was deadly sick and I had to go into the wood to find food and do all kinds of works. Quite sad, for a little girl to be in a very deep wood.

    +Jendhamuni Sos I must say that I'm deeply concerned about your own story and it's hard for me to find appropriate words now. I live in Germany and do belong to the lucky ones who have never experienced war themselves. On the other hand, it's so adorable that, in spite of all your painful experiences that you had suffered during your childhood, you've made your way and with your work with Human Rights Watch you even care for those, who are still suffering torture and pain. You deserve my whole respect, you're very much appreciated dear Jendhamuni!!!

  21. Jendhamuni Sos

    February 25, 2013

    My dear +Evelyn Mothes Thank you so much for the comfort and the very kind words. The wars and the pain had taught me a great lesson in my life. And I will continue to fight for peace till my last breath. I never forgot where I came from…Thank god, now we are here on g+

Live & Die for Buddhism

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Problems we face today

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
