The Mother

Abortion. One of today’s greatest controversies is all summed up in one poem. “The mother� by Gwendolyn Brooks, is about abortion and emotions that the mother feels by making such a decision. The mother feels content and little regret about the abortion. Hell, one should feel so lucky to.
In the whole first stanza the narrator is telling others how she feels about not being a mother; perhaps she is giving advice: “You will never neglect or beat/them, or silence or buy with sweet.� The narrator means that if one chooses to have an abortion she won’t have a chance to do all the things other mom’s have the chance to. For example, she will never get to punish or spoil a child.
The second stanza is also from the mother’s point of view: “I have heard in the voices of the wind the voices of my dim killed children.� She hears them, and they still live with her. When she says, “I have contracted. I have eased� the mother has come to an agreement and is free from worry, pain, and discomfort. Going through day after day, knowing that the mother has killed an innocent baby, she finally realizes that it was her ch

The third stanza presents a small sense of regret from the mother. One of the lines in the third stanza is “If I stole your births and your names, / Your straight baby tears and your games, /Your stilted or lovely loves, your tumults, your marriages, aches, and/ Your deaths,“ This line is a crucial line because it does show that little regret that she did have towards that fetus she once had. The first part of that is about stealing births and names, you only have those once and the mother stole them. The second part of that is a continuation of the first line about stealing names and births, except this time it’s about baby tears and its games. The next line is basically talking about the future the baby could have had but the mother took it away. She realizes this and grasps that the baby she has just aborted will not have a future the way she will. The poem then goes on “Believe that even in my deliberateness I was not deliberate.” The mother in this line is basically having some careful thought on what she did, weighing her decision slowly, not hurriedly or impulsively. “Though why should I whine, / Whine that the crime was other
