The Mourning Womb

My daughter Louisiana where did it go wrong ? Why have you become so greedy Greedy that you feed on your own offsprings Intoxicated by drinking the blood of your own children Your sister’s wombs are cracking with terror Because of what you do to their children Isn’t America the peace maker a woman who every man admires her enchanting beauty Your breast feeds the young and old the rich and poor But why are the sons of California neglected their tear have created rivers Their wounds have deepened to form valleys, their scars sing the song of survival and seek revenge My deaf ears hear cries from thousands miles away And my womb mourns day and night and my heart is drained by the weep Those with expensive shoes on their feet flee the bear footed are left behind Peace be upon the sons and daughters of Louisiana.
