The Beautiful Ones

It’s been so long a wait,
For this breed of little beings
“Will they ever come to birth, or
Was it yet another metaphor
To tame my teenage angst?”
I wandered and pondered.

Sometimes I used to think,
“What’s keeping them for so long?”
Aren’t we beautiful enough or,
Are the poor little things flushed
And washed down the gutter already
Wrapped in our elastic rubber suits?

Today morning I heard one,
Reaching out for my affection
Crying softly by the roadside,
Along the windy path of life
Rejected. Suffocated. Dumped.
Who will bear the beautiful ones?
