Our Silence

In the arms of a mother a baby lies
awakened to life in despair.
With pinkies and coke
his mother’s milk choked,
her addicted embrace is his care.

In the arms of a father a little girl lay
overcome by his strength and his power.
She had to give him what lovers should offer
and listen to words of "Don't say"

In the crutches of life the children hang helpless
and adults turn deaf ears away.
Oh, God! help the witness
not to suffer the stillness
In Jesus Name, this I will pray.
