This poem makes me sad, but it also makes me realize the truth in all of it. No, there are very few mothers doing things like that anymore. (I'm very blessed to be homeschooled, and my mother is at home.)
My favorite part, the one that made me saddest, was this part:
"They are not going to inspire poems, exhibition walls and theatres"
I mean, can you have a world without children getting inspiration from their mothers! The world is definitely different than it used to be.
Each line of your poem showed a different part of who a mother is, and what they do.
"Oranges are not peeled off one by one and placed in the fridge for anyone to walk in and eat" Mothers are (or used to be) very caring.
"In a shared household of four or five,/mothers are not doing anything" We have more than four or five at our house. (We have just about ten.)
The last few lines show your tone and your emotion, and also rounds off the poem quite nicely!
Sincerely, Mingan
Follow your heart, and nothing can go wrong. (Concerning writing.)
