Mothers Love

Sisters
                                                                            cry
                               empty satin sheets

                 a mothers 

                                                             bleeding heart



I…caress sisters tears comfort fears her baby now unto heaven we choking in sadness
condemned for sins
Yet men inflict such pain evil drums march, not to be undone leave them to their wars their childish affairs It is stale to judge us who give birth we, who know life whom give life from our loins leave us in peace you, who revel in wars then profess pacifism duplicity hidden in cloisters your morality lives in the devils den

This is a piece that NEEDS to be read a few times over! No greater love than a Mother's love in my book! Outstanding thought and expression. 7+++
