I’m Back.

      I

I’m back
I’m on track
if I’m white
or I’m black

if I’m young
or I’m old
at least so

I’ve been told
Am  I thin?
Am I fat?
Do I wear
a black hat?
Am I boy?
Am I girl?
  
Do I live
In this world?
  


       II

My mind’s
on one track
I’m a dried up
news hack
so I’m chewin’
the phone
like a dog
with a bone;
with this
indignation
I feel deep
inside me

I’m chasin’
I’m pacin’
I’m breathin’
I’m seethin’        


I’m feelin’
so low
when I see
the death toll,
of so many
children,
it gets
to my soul.
When I see
little infants
too tiny
to die
I just cannot
bear it
now it’s makin’ me cry


     II


I felt it
inside
when that old
doctor died

and I’m not
advocatin’
that killin’
is tried
as a solution
to these
dreadful problems;
and besides
it
just
doesn’t
solve them.

But
there
has
to be,
someone
wiser than me
who can
tell those
involved
in this
controversy


(and they’ve
gotta
shout it
from every
house-top)

the killing of babies
has just gotta
STOP.


I’m dreamin’
I’m schemin’
I’m steamin’
I’m streamin’

I’m screamin’
out loud
So that
maybe
they’ll
see
(if only somebody
could give them
the key):
for every
innocent
infant
that’s killed;
for all of
the innocent
blood
that’s been
spilled    



society
will be
judged evil  

in the future
there’ll be
an upheaval.

So before
it’s too late
let us try
to create
a society
that
is
not full
of this
hate.
Let’s
realize
that we
are all
killers
indeed;
if we
ignore
the
facts
we will only
succeed

in building
a world
that the future will see
as Satanic
and then it
most surely
will be
too late
to change it
and the blame
then
will be
fixed squarely
on people
like you
and like me.

A pattern of indignation at the suffering of children at the hands of adults emerges as I read more of your poems.  The fact that you place this theme right beside religious themes is what I like most about your writing.  Keep it up.

Life's short.  Think hard!
Me!
