Is The World Blind?

You enter the world, innocent and fresh

A nurse came forward to give an injection,
Your marshmallow body cried in pain,
What have I done, you snuggled in dad's arm

Mum suffered a clinical infection

Was on antibiotics and breastfeeding too,

She was told, its safe doing so.

Is it not a crime, unless we call it?

We were focused on your every move.

Your sitting to first step and many more.

You were talking and playing everyday.

You were photographed on each new play.

There were laughs and rainbows around,

He was cheeky and giggly, my first Born.

Those were lovely, isolating newborn days,
Now I am smiling through my tears,

Soon you had some cold and infections,

Later you had more vaccinations.
Few gash's, rash's and purple bumps,

Continuous diarrhea wasn't making sense.

You were crying and anxious to everything,

Preferred to stay in my lap all day.
I went and knocked every door,
But non can hear or understand my pain.



I don't remember exactly when it started

And I don't know when will it end
Nothing around, was making sense
The falling doesn't stop, the only thing left was, to pray.

My heart still aches with sadness,
Secret tears still flow,
What it means to lose you,
No one will ever know.

No doubt Autism is scariest

And hardest to heal.

Still, we should peacefully take a stand,
To avoid sinking in this autism's sand.

We need to listen

When children are happy, and when they cry.

A  Biomedical journey we all must take.

So the children of autism can laugh grow and play.
