Request
Request - meaning Summary
A Nation's Illegitimate Child
The poem frames the country as an abandoned child and issues a blunt plea for recognition. The speaker accuses an absent, exploitative parent figure of desertion and asks him to return and "claim his love child." The request links personal abandonment with political and legal neglect, insisting that naming and recognition are necessary to end a life of begging and marginalization. The tone is urgent, accusatory, and pleading.
