Long Cry like a baby Poems

Once upon a time in Erin land,
the sun smiled on the people 
the rains communed peacefully with thunderstorms
Erin flowed with palm wine and palm oil, 
And her children drank to their fill

marking time over a head, while
a recidivist waits for his deal with God.

You ask those little...

Shall not wait until you fall on bed of sorrow.

hopelessly listening to the chirping of crickets

And a bouquet of love,
And God you will find!

Hungry cry of waking baby				
challenging the staccato				
of small arms fire.
School bus honking
over the droning hum
of I-phone ear-buds.

rattling glassless windows.
Pop tart in microwaves,
nutritional nuance
of the overfed
undernourished.
Dogs barking in the distance,
squeaking well...

Cry of the baby
Wanting to wet the lips..
Dried out mother, has nothing for a sip!
Neither milk nor water..
Dried out mother has nothing to offer!
Drills where pounded 
On the river bed for months…
Pure water was sucked...
