We are the Dead Babies <br />To whom no voice was ever given <br />Only taken with force... <br />We are the Discarded Embryos <br />Without a name or a bed <br />For our tiny little heads <br />Pulled from life and Mother's womb <br />Our Father in Heaven weeps <br />His gift having been disgraced and refused <br />We are the Dead Babies <br />Blown apart by Man's bombs <br />Run over by His tanks and war machines <br />Cut in half by His long knives <br />Then fed to His cattle and sheep <br />We are the Dead Babies <br />Starved and covered with flies... <br />Devoured by Jackals and genocide <br />In the bush of Darfur and Sudan <br />We are the Dead Babies <br />To whom you close your anesthetized eyes <br />As you shake your shameless heads.... <br />Oh Well.... <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dead-babies/
