SMALL MOUNDS OF EARTH:

“Enough”, said The Lord, of small mounds of earth,

Of all babies & children, from sad scarcity & dearth,

The blameless small innocents, gone far too soon,

The little ones, to whom, mothers no longer croon,

Aids, malaria, hunger, so many diseases & more,

While we upon our knees, to our Lord, so implore,

Those abandoned without love & no one to care,

We ask of the Gods, “Tell us, why is life so unfair?”

Born into suffering should never have been the plan,

Where girls never be mothers & boys never the man,

Thwarted in growth by guns & the greedy man´s war,

By dirty muddy puddles, where rains no longer pour,

For what reasons, did they ever reach their birth?

When the good Lord up above has to say,

 “Enough now, of those small mounds of earth”.
