The Wail of a Mother

THE WAIL OF A MOTHER Their ears are closed to human Suffering and fear Saying this case will take years to decide Because they cannot hear A Scream A Groan A Cry A sound like no other While collapsing to the ground The wail of a mother They give a farce, a PR game Though everybody knows Children are dying every day But their ears they choose to close To A Scream A Groan A Cry A sound like no other While collapsing to the ground The wail of a mother Those that live beside them know There’s nothing to gain To help and love thy neighbor So are deaf to the pain Of A Scream A Groan A Cry A sound like no other While collapsing to the ground The wail of a mother The church calls one group chosen though Christ says all life is dear “No Ceasefire’ is shouted so loudly That they can’t even hear A Scream A Groan A Cry A sound like no other While collapsing to the ground The wail of a mother As she writhes around the ground The wail of a mother.
